본 연구에서는 목분-고분자 복합체(Wood Flour-Polymer Composite, WPC)의 상분리 특성을 조사하고 이를 토대로 목분함량에 따른 WPC의 기계적 물성 변화에 관한 원인을 규명하였다. 이를 위해 고분자 매트릭스로 폴리프로필렌을 사용하여 서로 다른 함량의 목분을 갖는 시편을 제조하였다. 서로 다른 목분 함량을 갖는 시편들의 DSC thermogram으로부터 목분 함량에 따른 고분자 PP의 결정화 경향과 $T_m$ 경향을 분석하였다. 목분 함량이 증가함에 따라 고분자 PP의 결정량 및 $T_m$값 모두 감소하다 다시 증가하는 결과를 나타내었다. 이로부터 낮은 목분 함량에서는 목분이 매트릭스인 고분자 내에 분산되어 있으나 일정 목분 함량이상에서는 WPC의 매트릭스인 PP와 목분사이에 상분리가 일어남을 확인할 수 있었다. 한편, WPC 시편의 인장강도는 목분 함량이 증가할수록 감소하는 결과를 나타내었다. 낮은 목분 함량에서는 고분자에 분산된 목분과 고분자 사이에서의 낮은 계면 결합력과 시편내에서 강도를 높이는 역할을 하는 결정량의 감소가, 높은 목분 함량에서는 PP와 목분사이에서의 상분리로 인한 계면 결함이 WPC 시편의 인장강도를 목분함량 증가에 따라 지속적으로 감소시키는 원인이 되는 것으로 파악되었다. WPC 시편의 충격강도는 목분 함량이 증가함에 따라 증가하다가 목분 함량이 20%인 경우 최고값을 나타내며, 그 이후 다시 감소하는 경향을 나타내었는데, 낮은 목분 함량에서는 목분 함량이 증가할수록 시편의 결정량이 감소하므로 시편의 취성 감소에 의해 충격강도가 향상되나, 높은 목분 함량에서는 고분자 매트릭스와 목분 사이의 상분리로 인해 다시 충격강도가 저하되기 때문인 것으로 판단된다.

Rice husk flours were analyzed by chemical composition and thermogravimetric methods in nitrogen atmosphere to discuss its feasibility as a raw material for manufacturing agricultural lignocellulosic fiber-thermoplastic polymer composite. It was revealed in the chemical composition analysis that rice husk flour was composed of moisture, 5.0%; lignin, 21.6%; holocellulose, 60.8%; ash, 12.6%. In the thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), thermal decomposition behavior of rice husk flour from room temperature to $350^{\circ}C$ was similar to that of wood flour, but rice husk flour was more thermally stable from 350 to $800^{\circ}C$ than wood flour because of higher silica content in the rice husk flour and smaller particle size of rice husk flour. The activation energy of thermal decomposition was evaluated using Flynn & Wall expression. As the thermal decomposition proceeded in rice husk flour, the activation energy of thermal decomposition appeared almost constant up to ${\alpha}=0.25$, but thereafter increased. Activation energy of thermal decomposition in wood flour, however, decreased steeply up to ${\alpha}=0.3$, but thereafter remained almost constant. From the results, rice husk flour was thought be a substitute for wood flour in manufacturing agricultural lignocellulosic fiber-thermoplastic polymer composite in the aspect of thermal decomposition.

In this paper, it was described results of study on curing safety of molding meterial, about the variation of phenol resin contents, wood flour contents and moisture of wood flour, under the same condition. The experimental results are summarized as follows ; 1) When the curing temperature was high, the curing time was short in the case of 4～8wt% moisture of wood flour, but in the case of more than l2wt% moisture of wood flour, the curing time was long. 2) The curing time for curing temperature was more short when 6wt% moisture of wood flour than 4wt% moisture of wood flour. 3) The more wood flour content and moisture of wood flour content, the longer curing time and the more mineral filler content, the shorter curing time. 4) When the phenol resin content of main matrix increase, the curing time was short.

The thermal properties of wood flour, Hwangto, and maleated polyethylene (MAPE) reinforced HDPE composites were investigated in this study. The thermal behavior of reinforced wood polymer composites was characterized by means of thermogravimetric (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetric (DSC) analyses. Hwangto and MAPE were used as an inorganic filler and a coupling agent, respectively. According to TGA analysis, the increase of wood flour level increased the thermal degradation of composites in the early stage, but decreased in the late stage. On the other hand, Hwangto reinforced composites showed the higher thermal stability than virgin HDPE, from the determination of differential peak temperature ($DT_p$). Decomposition temperature of wood flour and/or Hwangto reinforced composites increased with increase of heating rate. From DSC analysis, melting temperature of reinforced composites little bit increased with the addition of wood flour or Hwangto. As the loading of wood flour or Hwangto to HDPE increased, overall enthalpy decreased. It showed that wood flour and Hwangto absorbed more heat energy for melting the reinforced composites. Hwangto reinforced composites required more heat energy than wood flour reinforced composites and virgin HDPE. Coupling agent gave no significant effect on the thermal properties of composites. Thermal analyses indicate that composites with Hwangto are more thermally stable than those without Hwangto.

Nanocomposites with polypropylene/clay/wood flour were prepared by melt blending and injection molding. Thermal, mechanical and morphological properties were characterized. The addition of ballmilled clay, compatibilizer and wood flour significantly improved the thermal stability of the hybrids. The tensile modulus and strength of most hybrids was highly increased with the increased loading of clay, maleated polypropylene (MAPP) and wood flour (WF), compared to the PP/WF hybrids. The tensile modulus and strength of most hybrids were highly increased with the increased loading of ballmilled clay, MAPP and wood flour, compared to the hybrids with PP/WF. The transmission electron microscopy (TEM) photomicrographs illustrated the intercalated and partially exfoliated structures of the hybrids with ballmilled clay, MAPP and wood flour.

Wood Polymer Composites(WPC) have attracted significant attention because of ecological and environmental concerns. However, the structure of Wood Flour containing many hydroxyl groups(-OH) reduces the interface adhesion to Phenol-formaldehyde(PF) and it decreases the mechanical properties of the PF/Wood Flour Composites. The present work involves the modification of Wood Flour using silanes reinforced with Phenol-formaldehyde to enhance the mechanical properties of the composites. The spectroscopic properties of the composites were analyzed using FT-IR, XPS(X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy) and the mechanical properties i.e., tensile strength, flexural strength and impact strength were studied. We confirmed the modification effect of silanes by spectroscopic analysis, and the mechanical properties of the composites using wood flour modified by silanes were significantly improved.

일반적으로 목분/PVC 복합재가 갖는 대부분의 물리적 특성은 소수성인 PVC와 친수성인 목분 사이의 낮은 계면결합력으로 인해 순수한 PVC에 비해서도 낮다. 그러므로 본 연구에서는 목분/PVC의 계면결합력을 향상시키기 위해 세 가지 아미노실란을 각각 사용하여 목분을 개질하였으며, 아미노실란으로 개질된 목분, 무중금속 PVC 컴파운드, 나노점토를 용융혼합하여 환경친화적인 목분/PVC/나노점토 복합재를 제조하였다. 목분의 아미노실란 개질 및 나노점토의 첨가가 복합재의 기계적 특성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 복합재의 기계적 특성은 만능재료시험기, 아이조드 충격시험기, DMA, TMA를 이용하여 조사하였다. 아미노실란으로 개질된 목분을 이용한 복합재의 인장특성은 순수한 목분을 이용한 복합재의 인장특성보다 훨씬 높았다. 또한 적은 양의 나노점토가 복합재의 기계적 특성을 향상시켰다. 아미노실란으로 개질된 목분과 나노점토를 사용함으로써 목분/PVC 복합재의 성능이 크게 향상되었다.

The objective of this research was to investigate the possibility of using rice husk flour as a partial substitute for the wood particles used as the raw material for manufacturing particleboards, by examining the physical and mechanical properties of the rice husk flour-wood particleboard as a function of the type of urea-formaldehyde resin used. Commercial wood particles and two types of rice husk flours (A type (30 ㎛), B type (300 ㎛)) were used. E₁ and E₂ class urea-formaldehyde resin was used as the composite binder, combined with 10 wt.% NH₄Cl solution as a hardener. Rice husk flour-wood particleboards with dimensions of 27×27×0.7 (cm) were manufactured at a specific gravity of 0.7 with rice husk flour contents of 0, 5, 10, and 15 (wt.%). We examined the physical properties (specific gravity and moisture content), mechanical properties (three point bending strength and internal bonding) of the composite. In general, it can be concluded that composites made from rice husk flours are of somewhat poorer quality than those made from wood; however, blending in small amounts of rice husk flour (e.g., 5% to 10% by weight) may have no significant impact on quality.

The increase of wet web solid content after wet press and dry compressive strength were observed in lab study by judicious application of wood flour and starch for the old corrugated container (OCC). Pearl starch was better than cationic starch in strength development, but cationic starch was better for drainage. Application of vacuum on the mixed solution of wood flour and starch helped strength development further without loss of other properties. The effect of wood flour addition on wet web solid content improved as the wet pressing pressure increased. The use of wood flour and starch mixture improved wet web solid contents further.
