Mechanical properties of domestic small-diameter logs treated with Polyethylene glycol
PEG(Polyethylene Glycol)처리재의 역학적 특성
Abstract
This study was carried out to investigate the mechanical properties of woods treated with 30% aqueous solution of PEG 1000. Compressive, bending and shearing strengths were slightly decreased by PEG treatment. Absorbed energy in impact bending did not show any significant differences between untreated and PEG-treated woods.
