우리나라의 대표적(代表的)인 조림수종(造林樹種)의 하나인 현사시나무(Populus alba $\times$ glandulosa)를 공시재(供試村)로 하여 가열(加熟), 가압처리(加壓處理)가 목재(木材)의 물리적(物理的) 기계적(機械的) 성질(性質)에 미치는 영향(影響)을 조사(調査)하여 목질개량(木質改良)을 위(爲)한 기초자료(基礎資料)로 활용(活用)코자 실험(實驗)을 수행(遂行)하였는 바 다음과 같은 결론(結論)을 얻었다. 1) 비중(比重)은 압축율(壓縮率)이 증가(增加)함에 따라 현저(顯著)히 증가(增加)하였다. 2) 수축율(收縮率)은 압축율(壓縮率)이 증가하여 소재(素材)와 비교(比較)하여 경단방향(徑斷方向)은 약(約) 1.5~2배(倍), 촉단방향(觸斷方向)은 약(約)1~2.2배(倍), 섬유방향(纖維方向)은 약(約)1.6~2.1배(倍) 이었다. 3) 흡수율(吸收率)은 압축율(壓縮率) 30%까지는 별(別)로 증가(增加)하지 않았으나 압축율(壓縮率) 40%이상(以上)에서는 소재(素材)에 비(比)해 높은 증가율(增加率)을 나타내었다. 4) 두께 팽윤율(澎潤率)은 압축율(壓縮率)이 증가(增加)함에 따라 경단면(徑斷面)에서는 큰 차이(差異)가 없었으나 촉단면(觸斷面)의 경우(境遇)에는 현저(顯著)하게 증가(增加)하였다.(특(特)히 압축율(壓縮率) 40%, 50%). 5) 종압축강도(縱壓縮强度)는 압축율(壓縮率) 40%까지는 증가(增加)하였으나 압축율(壓縮率) 50%에서는 오히려 감소(減少)하였고 휨 강도(强度)는 압축율(壓縮率) 30%까지는 소재(素材)에 비(比)해 큰 변화(變化)가 없었으나 그 이상(以上)의 압축율(壓縮率)에서 감소(減少)하였으며 충격(衝擊) 휨 흡수(吸收)에너지는 압축율(壓縮率) 30%까지 증가(增加)하여 소재(素材)의 128%에 달(達)하였으나 압축율(壓縮率) 30% 이상(以上)에서는 다시 감소(減少)하였다. 결론적(結論的)으로 가열(加熱) 압축처리(壓縮處理)가 목재(木材)의 기계적(機械的) 성질(性質)을 향상(向上)시키지만 어느 일정(一定) 압축(壓縮) 수준(水準)(본(本) 실험(實驗)의 경우(境遇) 압축율(壓縮率) 30%)을 지나면 오히려 강도(强度)가 감소(減少)된다. 이와같은 현상(現象)은 가열(加熱) 압축(壓縮)으로 인(因)한 목재조직(木材組織)의 변형(變形)(수축(收縮), 균열 및 파괴) 가열(加熱)에 의(依)한 목재성분(木材成分)의 열분해(熱分解), 중합도(重合度)의 저하(低下) 등(等)이 목재(木材)의 열화(熱火)를 초래(招來)한 것으로 생각된다.
This study was carried out to improve the physical and mechanical properties of Pupulus alba $\times$ glandulosa treated by the heat and compression. The results obtained were as follows. 1. The specific gravity of the wood was conspicuously increased by the lincreasing of pressing level. 2. The shrinkage of the wood was increased. by the increasing of pressing level. The radial shrinkage was 6.41-8.81%, the tangential shrinkage was 8.98-19.81 %, and the longitudinal shrinkage was 1.46-1.91 %. Comparing to the untreated stock, the rate of increase was 48.7-104.4% in radial direction. 1.7-124.4% in tangential direction and 60.4-109.9% in longitudinal direction, respectively. 3. The rate absorption of 30% compressed stock was Similar to that of untreated stock. but the rate of absorption of 40 % or more compressed stock was increased highly. 4. The thickness swelling of the wood was not changed in radial direction at pressing level, but was conspicuously increased in tangential direction under the pressing level of 40% and 50%. 5. The heat and compression treatment affected on the mechanical properties of the wood. The longitudinal compressive strength was increased under the pressing level of up to 40%, but was decreased under the pressing level of 50%. The bending strength was not changed under the compression percentage of up to 30%, but was decreased under the pressing level of 30% or more. And, the absorbed energy in impact bending was increased to 128% under the pressing level of up to 30%, but was decreased under the pressing level of 30% or more. Conclusionly, the mechanical properties of the wood was improved by the heat and compression treatment, but the strength of the wood was decreased under the pressing level of a certain level or more(in this study, pressing level of 30% or more). This was because of the wood deterioration due to the deformation(shrinkage, crack, failure) of wood tissues induced by the heat and compression treatment, the heat analysis of wood components induced by the heating, and the drop of the degree of polymerization.
