인도네시아에서 자생하는 수종인 White Jabon (Anthocephalus cadamba)과 Red Jabon (Anthocephalus macrophyllus)의 해부학적 특성을 IAWA 분류기준에 의거하여 조사 및 비교하였다. 두 수종은 산공재로서, 대부분 2~3열의 방사복합관공의 형태로 관찰되었다. 접선방향의 도관 직경은 $100{\sim}200{\mu}m$의 범위로, $mm^2$당 도관의 수는 5~20개의 범위로 분류되었고, White Jabon의 도관수가 더 많았다. 두 수종에서 $mm^2$당 고립관공의 수는 비슷했으나 복합관공은 White Jabon이 다소 많이 출현하였다. 두 수종의 횡단면에서 축방향유조직은 산재상의 형태를 보였으나, White Jabon은 그 출현빈도가 매우 낮았다. 방사단면에서 방사조직은 평복세포와 4열 이상의 직립세포로 구성된 형태가 주로 관찰되었으며, 부분적으로 직립동성형 방사조직이 관찰되었다. 접선단면상에서 White Jabon의 방사조직은 1~V3열, Red Jabon은 1~2열로 관찰되었으며, 방사조직의 높이는 White Jabon이 $420{\mu}m$, Red Jabon이 $474{\mu}m$로 나타났다. 목섬유의 평균 길이는 $900{\sim}1,600{\mu}m$의 범위였고, 수에서 수피부로 이행할수록 증가하는 방사방향 변이성을 나타냈다.

Red jabon wood is a potential fast-growing species for veneer, furniture, and many other wood products, but its durability is very low. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of castor bean oil and heating on boron leaching, dimensional stability, and resistance to decay fungi in treated jabon wood. Red jabon wood was preserved with boron solutions containing 5% boron (boric acid, borax, or borax-boric acid). Following that, castor bean oil impregnation and heating were used as posttreatments. Furthermore, all the wood samples were tested in terms of leaching, dimensional stability, and resistance against Schizophyllum commune and Fomitopsis palustris fungi. This study discovered that boron compounds, castor bean oil, and heating treatments influenced the leaching, dimensional stability, and resistance of red jabon wood to decay fungi. The double impregnation of boric acid or borax and castor bean oil, followed by heating at 160℃, significantly reduced water absorption and leaching while increasing the dimensional stability and resistance of red jabon wood against the two tested decay fungi.

Boron compound had many advantages as wood preservative, but it was prone to leaching. Improving boron preservation was required to extend the service life of fast growing and low durability red jabon (Antochephalus macrophyllus) hardwood. This study aimed to evaluate the dimensional stability, color change and durability of modified red jabon wood by double impregnation with boron and methyl methacrylate (MMA) and heat treatment. Impregnation I used boric acid or borax, and impregnation II used MMA, while heat treatment used temperatures of 90 ℃ or 180 ℃ for 4 hours. The dimensional stability, leachability, water absorption, color change and decay resistance of modified red jabon wood were tested. The results showed that MMA impregnation increased the dimensional stability of red jabon wood, while the leaching and water absorption in the wood significantly reduced. Heating at 180 ℃ caused less water absorption and higher dimensional stability of the wood than that of heating at 90 ℃. Impregnation with boric acid and MMA followed by heating at 90 ℃ resulted in the highest wood ASE, 89.9%. The color change (∆E^*) of wood increased significantly after MMA impregnation and heating at 180 ℃. Boric acid impregnation caused more resistant wood than borax impregnation against decay fungi and termites. Impregnation with boric acid and MMA followed with heating at 180 ℃ increased significantly the wood resistance against decay fungi and termites.
