This study was carried out to investigate some mechanical properties for wood rational utilization of heartwood and sapwood in radiata pine according to basic density, ring width and proportion of latewood which were grown in New Zealand. This result were summarized as follow: Heartwood showed 35.78(MPa) of the compression strength parallel to the grain while sapwood showed 42.08(MPa). The modulus of rupture in static bending was higher in sapwood showing 86.12(MPa) than in heartwood 72.99(MPa) Heartwood had 7.38(GPa) for the modulus of elasticity in static bending and sapwood 8.17(GPa). As the basic density and proportion of latewood increased: compression strength parallel to the grain, MOR and MOE in static bending had a tendency to increase. As ring width increased, the mechanical properties decreased.

Alkali-soluble extracts were prepared from medium-sized barks of Radiata pine(Pinus radiata). There are difficulties in the production of extracts with uniform quality and in the preparation of adhesives with suitable viscosity. Ultrafiltration using an Amicon cell was subjected to fractionate extracts according to molecular sizes in order to overcome the above problem. The filtration efficiency was studied by using thin channel filtration systems. Adhesive manufacturing was also examined. Removal of particles greater than 0.45m from the extracts increased both filtration speed (flux) and yields of solids in the filtrates. Ultrafiltration with PM 10 membrane was very effective to fractionate and concentrate the extracts. Stiasny precipitates from the filtrates obtained by PM 10 membrane were very lower than that(83%) of the retentates. This ultrafiltration method was efficient for obtaining high yield purified phenolic compounds(mainly polyflavanoids) and thus important for preparing wood adhesives from barks. The extracts were shown excessive high viscosities at the concentrations required for adhesive formulation, but this high viscosity and short gelation time was reduced by lowering pH of the extracts and addition of urea. The highest bonding strength of plywoods(340g/$m^2$ of adhesive spreads) was achieved with adhesive formulated by 100parts of mixed alkali extracts and urea(70/30,w/w), 10parts of p-formaldehyde and 3.5parts of wheat flour at pH 6, and by hot pressing at the conditions of 12kg/$cm^2$ at $120^{\circ}C$ for 10 minutes.

본 연구는 $100^{\circ}C$ 이상의 고온영역에서 증기처리에 의한 소나무(Pinus densiflora)재와 라디아타소나무(Pinus radiata)재의 전단강도를 조사하였다. 본 연구에서 사용한 열처리 조건은 온도조건 $100^{\circ}C$부터 $200^{\circ}C$까지 $20^{\circ}C$ 간격으로 6조건과 시간조건 5, 10, 20, 30분의 4조건이었으며, 폭쇄처리기를 사용하였다. 고온에서 증기처리에 의해 목재구성요소의 감소가 전단강도의 감소로 나타나고 목질재료의 광범위한 가소화를 진행시키는 것으로 판단된다. 목재의 전단강도는 증기처리시간에 따라서 점차적으로 감소한다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 10분 이상의 증기처리시간일 경우 온도가 올라갈수록 전단강도의 감소가 눈에 띄게 커졌다. 고온에서 증기처리에 의한 연화는 목재가공성 향상에 필요하다고 생각된다.

To prepare the eco-friendly fire retardant wood, Japanese red pine (Pinus densiflora), Hemlock (Tsuga heterophylla), and Radiata pine (Pinus radiata) were treated with inorganic chemicals, such as sodium silicate, boric acid, ammonium phosphate, and ammonium borate. Different combination and concentration of those chemicals were impregnated by vacuum/pressure treatment methods. The electron-beam treatment was used to increase the chemical penetration into the wood. The fire performance of the fire retardant treated wood was investigated. The penetration of chemicals into the wood was enhanced after electron beam treatment. Ignition time of the treated wood was the most effectively retarded by sodium silicate, ammonium phosphate, and ammonium borate. The most effective chemical combination was found at 50% sodium silicate and 3% ammonium borate, which satisfied flammability criteria for a fire retardant material in the KS F ISO 5660-1 standards.

The mechanical and physical properties of wood are strongly dependent upon the slope of grain. Specially, tensile strength is more severely affected by the slope of grain. Therefore, tension tests were performed on small thin wood samples made from Pinus radiata with varying the slope of grain. Determining the tensile strength for clear thin wood samples the other variabilities associated with material, size, drying, defects, etc were discarded. Slope of grain was measured by the slope of grain indicator and actual slope of grain was also determined by a protractor. Correlation coefficients between machine measured and actual slope of grain for 40 pieces of 2×20 mm, 300 mm long Pinus radiata were 0.84 for wide face measurement. Results also showed that tensile strength and MOE from stress wave tests decreased with increasing the slope of grain. This study did not establish a relationships for tensile strength and MOE from stress wave with slope of grain. However, the trends of MOEs from stress wave test with both slope of grain are agreed well with Hankinson's equation. Predicted tension strength curve by Hankinson's equation was also agreed well with the experimental data over the range from 0 to 13 degrees for slope of grain.

라디에타 소나무(Pinus radiata D.Don)를 이용하여 압체 온도와 시간에 따른 압밀화 목재의 경도와 치수안 정성을 조사하였다. 압체 온도가 상승함에 따라 표면경도도 함께 증가하였다. 열압체 시간 30분을 기준으로 압체 온도 $70^{\circ}C$에서는 경도 값이 5.0 N/$mm^2$, $220^{\circ}C$에서 15.6 N/$mm^2$으로 312% 향상되었으며, 60분에서는 313%, 90분에서는 224% 향상되는 것으로 나타났다. 치수회복실험 결과 열압체 온도가 상승함에 따라 치수고정효과는 상승한 반면 압체 시간의 증가에 의한 치수고정효과는 미약하였다. 접촉각 측정결과 압체 온도와 시간의 증가와 함께 접촉각도 증가했으며 압체 온도 $220^{\circ}C$에서는 $90^{\circ}$ 이상의 접촉각을 나타내어 표면이 소수성을 나타냄을 알 수 있었다.

라디에타 소나무(Pinus radiata D.Don) 열압밀화 목재의 압밀화 시간과 온도에 따른 재색의 변화를 관찰하였다. 색차계를 이용하여 재색을 측정하였으며, NBS (National Bureau of Standards)에 의해 색차를 평가하였다. 그 결과 압밀화 온도의 증가에 따라 백색도는 감소하였고, 적색도와 황색도는 증가하였다. 그리고 대부분의 색차는 'Very Much (대단한 차)'로 나타났다. 압밀화 시간의 증가에 따른 재색의 변화는 압밀화 시간의 증가에 따라 백색도는 감소하였으나 감소폭은 온도에 의한 영향보다 적은 것으로 나타났다. 적색도와 황색도에 미치는 열 압밀화 시간의 영향은 미약하였다. 즉 압밀화 가열온도와 가압시간의 증가에 따라 재색의 암색화가 나타났으며, 재색변화에는 압밀화 시간보다 가열온도의 영향이 더욱 큰 것으로 나타났다.

Alkali-soluble extracts were prepared from barks of Japanese larch(Larix leptolepis). Siberian larch(Larix gmelineii) and Radiata pine(Pinus radiata) The effect of various factors, such as particle size, liquor ratio, extraction temperature, and reaction time, on the extracts yield was investigated. Particle sizes affected the alkali-soluble extracts; the finer the particle size, the higher extracts and extract efficiency. High temperature and high liquor ratio were more effective. In the range of 0.25% to 1% NaOH concentration, alkali extracts were increased with the increasing alkali concentration. However, extract yields were leveled off above 0.5% alkali concentration. Extractions with NaHCO3 were almost equivalent to those of NaOH extraction. 1% NaOH and 1% NaHCO3 resulted in the highest yields of alkaline extracts. Extracts from Japanese larch were lower than those from Siberian larch and Radiata pine barks. Siberian larch bark was the best raw material for tannin adhesives, because its extractive yield was higher than those of the other barks. Concerning pH of alkaline media during extraction, small increases of the extract yields were resulted at range of pH 7 to pH 9, while a large increases from pH 9.0 to pH 12. This phenomenon is attributed to higher alkalinity.

The Korean sawmills have recently recognized the importance of prevention of fungal discoloration due to increased losses in revenue. Before establishing integrated control strategies of fungal discoloration, more complete knowledge about causal organisms is needed. As a first step, we initiated a through survey of fungi colonizing commercially important softwood(Pinus dens flora, Pinus koraiensis, and Pinus radiata) logs and lumber in Korea. In this paper we report results obtained from Japanese red pine(Pinus densiflora) log study. In summer 2000, fungi were isolated from Japanese red pine logs in storage, and identified based on their cultural and morphological characteristics. A total of 595 fungi were isolated, representing 21 genera and 30 species. Mold fungi, mostly Trichoderma species, were the most frequently isolating fungi, representing more than half of all isolates. Dematiaceous fungi represented approximately one fifth of the isolates, and Rhinocladiella atorvirens was the most abundant in all samples. Opiostoma species represented 7% of all isolates from cores planted on malt extract agar(MEA) and the incidence of these species doubled with the addition of streptomycin and cycloheximide to MEA. The results indicate that Japanese red pine sapwood is susceptible to colonization by a variety of fungal species. As a result, control strategies that concentrate on one fungus may have limited success because of interference from competing flora.

선행 연구에서 보존 균주에 대하여 우수한 목재 방미효력을 나타내는 2종의 플루오르화합물계 약제(RNF-3, RNF-4)를 선발하였다. 본 연구에서는 이들 약제의 실용화 가능성을 검토하기 위하여 야외 분리 균주를 이용한 목재 방미효력 시험 및 침엽수 제재목 생산 현장에서의 야외 시험을 실시하였다.플루오르와 구리 성분을 함유한 합성 약제 RNF-3은 PDA 배지 상에서 16종의 분리 균주에 대하여 높은 생장 억제 효력을 발휘하였다. 또한 소나무, 잣나무 및 라디에타소나무 시험편에서도 농도 2% 이상 처리에서 분리 균주의 생장이 이루어지지 않음으로써 목재 방미효력 또한 우수한 것으로 밝혀졌다. 한편 플루오르 성분만을 함유한 RNF-4의 경우에는 농도 2% 이상 처리에서도 PDA 배지 및 목재 시험편에서 균사의 생장이 이루어짐으로써 RNF-3에 비하여 분리균에 대한 효력이 떨어지는 것으로 나타났다. 라디에타소나무 판재를 이용한 현장 야외 시험에서도 농도 2%의 RNF-3 수용액에 침지 처리한 처리구는 균류에 의한 표면오염이 발생하지 않고 건전한 외관을 유지하고 있어 높은 목재 방미효력이 인정되었다. 이들 결과로부터 RNF-3은 침엽수 제재목의 표면오염 방지를 위한 국산 목재 방미제로써 사용이 가능할 것으로 판단되었다.
