Abstract
By implementing an analysis on the liquid flame proof agent infiltration of microwave-heated wood under soaking conditions (room temperature soaking, heat soaking), its correlation with wood temperature, and the structure of wood and permeating components after soaking in flame proof agent, which was carried out as basic research in order to improve the fire resistance performance of the wood itself, it is found that the infiltration increases as the microwave heating time increases, while for heat soaking, it is found that high infiltration as well as the stable permeability of flame proof agent is achievable. Also, when the wood temperature is more than $80^{\circ}C$, the infiltration by the flame proof agent increased, and a very even infiltration of flame proof agent was observed, which implies that the liquid flame proof agent has a dependency on temperature change of the wood as a condition to penetrate into the wood. As a result of fine structure analysis, the flame proof agent transfer between cells through pits was considered as a cause to increase the infiltration of flame proof agent, and it is also shown that for heat soaking among the permeating component analysis, as the crystallized flame proof agent around the heartwood and sapwood inner pits increases, the flame proof agent can penetrate into the the heartwood part.
