진공가압함침공정(Vacuum Pressure Impregnation, VPI)은 발전기, 전동기 등 대형 회전기에 사용되는 고정자 권선에 에폭시 계열의 레진을 코팅시켜 물성을 강화하는 공정이다. VPI 공정 중 진공과 가압과정에서 에폭시 레진의 기화에 의해 레진 가스가 발생하고, 함침공정이 끝나고 경화를 위해 탱크 개방 시 레진 가스가 제거되지 않고 탱크 밖으로 유출된다. 유출된 레진 가스가 작업장 전체에 확산 시 화재, 폭발 및 호흡기 문제와 같은 안전 환경 문제가 있으므로 공정 내 레진 가스 배출시스템이 필요하다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 VPI 공정에서 발생한 레진 가스를 배출하는 시스템을 설계하기 위해 전산유체역학(Computational Fluid Dynamics, CFD)을 이용하여 공기 유입구·배출구의 위치에 따른 배출효율에 대한 사례연구를 진행하였다. 본 연구의 최적의 배출시스템을 활용 시 1,800초 이내 90%이상의 레진 가스를 배출할 수 있으며, 레진 가스의 폭발하한계(Low Explosive Limit, LEL)이하로 레진 가스의 분율을 낮출 수 있었다.

PEG (Polyethylene glycol) impregnation in wood reduces the occurrence of checking during kiln drying. The volumetric shrinkages of wood PEG impregnated by pressure (PEG-P) or soaking (PEG-S) methods, and oven-dried by vent (VD) or air-tight (AD) methods were measured and compared with the controls. The average oven-dry weight of PEG impregnated specimens was larger than that of the controls by 3.6 g, but was not influenced by the drying methods. The average of the total volumetric shrinkage of PEG-P-VD specimens was the least (2.3%), while that of CON-S-AD specimens was the largest (28.9%). Within a drying method the total volumetric shrinkage of the control was the largest followed by PEG-S and PEG-P specimens, which implied that residual PEG in wood restrained its shrinkage during drying.

수지이동 성형공정에서 섬유직조가 수지에 의해 함침될 때 발생하는 기공 또는 나쁜 젖음성은 최종 성형품의 물성 저하에 심각한 영향을 미치게 된다. 본 연구에서는 함침공정에서의 수지 유동특성을 파악하고 기공 형성기구를 규명하기 위하여, 빔 형태의 금형을 대상으로 실리콘 오일과 평직형태의 유리섬유를 사용하여 미시적인 유동가시화 실험을 수행하였다. 시간과 압력에 따른 수지의 침투길이를 측정함으로써 섬유직조의 기공률에 따른 비정상상태의 투과계수와 모세관압을 측정하였고, 낮은 조업압력과 낮은 기공률에서는 모세관압이 함침공정에서 중요한 가공변수임을 확인할 수 있었다. 비디오 카메라를 이용하여 유동전단면의 이동을 근접 확대 촬영하여 기공이 형성되는 과정을 미시적으로 관찰함으로써, 섬유와 수지의 표면에너지에 의해 발생되는 모세관압이 기공의 형성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 그 결과, 수지충전을 유발하는 전체 구동압력에서 모세관압이 상대적으로 클수록 기공은 더욱 쉽게 생성되는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 수지의 점도와 섬유직조의 기공률이 각각 변화할 때, 모세관수에 따른 기공의 함량을 화상 해석 기법(image analysis technique)을 사용하여 정량적으로 측정하였다. 수지가 섬유직조 내로 함침될 때 임계모세관수(Ca~2.75$\times$$10^{-3})이상에서는 기공이 형성되지 않았으며, 그 이하에서는 모세관수가 감소함에 따라 기공의 함량이 지수적으로 증가하였다. 생성된 기공의 함량은 점도에 관계없이 유사한 변화 경향을 보였으며, 모세관수가 동일한 조건에서는, 기공률이 감소함에 따라 기공의 함량이 감소하였다.

This research aimed to evaluate the durability of Samama (Anthocephalus macrophyllus) wood treated with boron preservatives, citric acid (CA), and heating against termites. Wood samples were impregnated firstly with 5% boron solutions, such as boric acid, borax and boric acid + borax combination at 1:1 (w/w). The second impregnation used 5% CA. The impregnations were conducted in a pressure tank at 7 kg/cm² for 4 hours. After impregnation, the samples were heat treated at 80℃ or 160℃. All the treated and control samples were exposed to decay fungi, drywood termites and subterranean termites based on SNI 7207:2014 standard. The results showed that boron preservatives reduced fungal attacks on Samama wood. The combination treatment of boric acid, CA and heat treatment at 160℃ was also effective to increase the resistance of Samama wood against white- and brown rot fungi, and drywood termites. Heat treatment consistently improved the resistance of Samama wood from decay fungi.

Jabon (Anthocephalus cadamba) is a fast-growing wood species that is widely utilized for light construction and other purposes in Indonesia. The objectives of the current study were to determine the effects of monoethylene glycol (MEG) and SiO₂ nanoparticles (nano SiO₂) impregnation treatment on the dimensional stability and density of jabon wood and to identify the characteristics of impregnated jabon wood. Wood samples were immersed in water (as untreated), MEG, 0.5% MEGSiO₂, then impregnated by applying 0.5 bar of vacuum for 60 min, and then applying 2.5 bar of pressure for 120 min. The results showed that impregnation with MEG and Nano SiO₂ had a significant effect on the dimensional stability of jabon wood. Polymers can fill cell walls in wood indicated by increasing weight percentgain, antiswelling efficiency, bulking effect, and density, then decreasing in water uptake value. Jabon wood morphology by using SEM showed that MEGSiO₂ polymers can cover part of the pitsin the wood vessel wall of jabon. This finding was reinforced by EDX results showing that the silicon content was increased due to the addition of SiO₂ nano. The XRD diffraction pattern indicated that MEGSiO₂ treatment increased the degree of crystallinity in wood samples. Overall, treatment with 0.5% MEGSiO₂ led to the most improvement in the dimensional stability of 5-year-old jabon wood in this study.

Sengon (Falcataria moluccana Miq.) tree offers a wood of low quality and durability owing to its low density and thin cell walls. This study aimed to improve the properties of sengon wood by making the wood magnetic, producing new functions, and characterizing magnetic sengon wood. Each wood sample was treated using one of the following impregnation solutions: Untreated, 7.5% nano magnetite-furfuryl alcohol (Fe₃O₄-FA), 10% nano Fe₃O₄-FA, and 12.5% nano Fe₃O₄-FA. The impregnation process began with vacuum treatment at 0.5 bar for 2 h, followed by applying a pressure of 1 bar for 2 h. The samples were then tested for dimensional stability and density and characterized using scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDX), Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, and vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM) analysis. The results showed that the Fe₃O₄-FA impregnation treatment considerable affected the dimensional stability, measured in terms of weight percent gain, anti-swelling efficiency, water uptake, and bulking effect, as well as the density of sengon wood. Changes in wood morphology were detected by the presence of Fe deposits in the cell walls and cell cavities of the wood using SEM-EDX analysis. XRD and FTIR analyses showed the appearance of magnetite peaks in the diffractogram and Fe-O functional groups. Based on the VSM analysis, treated sengon wood is classified as a superparamagnetic material with soft magnetic properties. Overall, 10% Fe₃O₄-FA treatment led to the highest increase in dimensional stability and density of sengon wood.

Epoxy/mica composite was synthesized, in order to use it as an impregnation resin in a vacuum pressure impregnation (VPI) process, for manufacturing a high voltage rotary machine. The average particle size of the mica was 5~7 ${\mu}m$ and its content was 0, 20, 30 and 40 wt%. A plasticizer or a low molecular aliphatic epoxy was also used, to decrease the viscosity of the composite. The AC electrical breakdown strength was estimated in sphere-to-sphere electrodes, and the electrical breakdown data were estimated by Weibull statistical analysis. The electrical breakdown strength became higher with the addition of mica; and that of the system with 20 wt% mica was highest. The electrical breakdown strength of the system with an aliphatic epoxy was higher than that of the system with a, plasticizer.

PTFE composites for use of microwave substrate were fabricated by impregnation and heat treatment fabrication with glass fabric. This study shows dielectric properties such as dielectric constant and loss can be controlled by thickness of PTFE composite with change of pressure condition in heating press process. The dielectric constant of the PTFE composites has decreasing tendency as given higher pressure condition. The dielectric loss has similar result too. Especially, the case of the dielectric loss was affected by the condition of pressure at heating press and had the best performance under 3 MPa. In order to see the reason why thickness conditions make different, their microstructures were also observed.
