Manufacturing and Physical Properties of Composite Board with Sawdust and Orange Peels

This study was carried out to explore a new application of board and obtain fundamental properties for producing composite board from sawdust and orange peels. As the mixing rate of orange peels increased from 10% to 40%, water absorption, thickness swelling, modulus of rupture and brinell hardness decreased as follows : 94.1%~86.5%, 27.2%~18.0%, $65.1kgf/cm^2{\sim}39.2kgf/cm^2$ and $195.3kgf/cm^2{\sim}180.3kgf/cm^2$, respectively. As the density of board increased from $0.4g/cm^3$ to $0.8g/cm^3$, thickness swelling, modulus of rupture and brinell hardness increased as follows: 6.4%~17.9%, $4.2kgf/cm^2{\sim}96.6kgf/cm^2$ and $40.4kgf/cm^2{\sim}196.2kgf/cm^2$, respectively. But the water absorption decreased from 149.2% to 58.6%.

톱밥과 귤박을 이용한 혼합보드제조 및 물성

본 연구는 톱밥과 귤박을 이용하여 혼합보드를 제조하여 기본 물성을 조사하였다. 혼합보드의 귤박 혼합율이 10%에서 40%로 증가함에 따라 흡수율은 94.1%에서 86.5%로, 두께 팽창율은 27.2%에서 18.0%로, 휨강도는 $65.1kgf/cm^2$에서 $39.2kgf/cm^2$로, 경도는 $195.3kgf/cm^2$에서 $180.3kgf/cm^2$로 감소하였다. 혼합보드의 밀도가 $0.4g/cm^3$에서 $0.8g/cm^3$로 증가함에 따라 흡수율은 149.2%에서 58.6%로 감소하였으나, 두께 팽창율은 6.4%에서 17.9%로, 휨강도는 $4.2kgf/cm^2$에서 $96.6kgf/cm^2$로, 경도는 $40.4kgf/cm^2$에서 $196.2kgf/cm^2$로 증가하였다.
