This study was performed to evaluate the effect of paper property changes by internal addition of surface strength agent on printability. Advances in printing technique has required the development of paper qualities in many aspects. Basically paper structure is composed of hydrogen bonds which induce many problems in high speed printing machine because of weak bonding strength. One of the important printing problems is surface picking when mechanical pulp or recycled pulp are used. It was caused by the ink-stained blanket in printing process because accumulations of pollutant in white water and other elements which are bonded weakly or do not have hydrogen bonds. Debris at paper surface adheres to blanket which deteriorates printing efficiency and causes various problems. To complement these problems, Pennocel 5137 of polysaccharide structure was used as an agent to improve paper's surface property, strength and printability. Paper surface picking was analyzed by RI-1 test. As the dosage amount increased tensile strength, fiber bonding strength and ZDT strength were improved. Further more formation, smoothness and surface picking resistance were improved. It was confirmed that when adding polysaccharide structure polymers to improve surface strength such as surface picking resistance, it was also possible to improve tensile strength, fiber bonding strength, formation and smoothness.

The anatomical characteristics of Quercus variabilis woods carbonized at 310 to $350^{\circ}C$ were examined with an optical and scanning electron microscopy, and an X-ray diffraction analysis. Dimensional change and weight loss were also investigated. Volume of wood samples decreased with increasing the carbonization temperature, and checks were developed along with radial direction. Vessel diameter in tangential direction showed higher shrinkage than that in radial direction. Weight loss of samples increased with increasing carbonization temperature. Especially, the weight loss rapidly increased at the temperature ranging from 330 to $340^{\circ}C$. SEM study presented that the cell walls of samples carbonized at below $320^{\circ}C$ showed the layering structure. However, it was revealed that the layering structure was disappeared at $330^{\circ}C$ and over and showed an amorphous-like structure without cell wall layering. Interestingly, the existence of cellulose crystalline substance at $340^{\circ}C$ was confirmed by X-ray diffraction analysis and it was not detected at $350^{\circ}C$. Consequently, it is considered that the critical temperature for carbonization of wood was around $350^{\circ}C$.

Wood and bark structure of Laurus, which is considered as an important spice resources was characterized by several transitional and advanced features. Annual rings are distinct: vessel elements are moderately short and narrow, both simple and sealariform perforation plates. alternate intervascular pitting; irregularly septate fiber are present; parenchyma strands are scanty paratracheal: rays are both homogeneous and heterogeneous with multiseriate: phloem rays are dilated. Comparisons with other genera of Lauraceae suggest that Laurus is transitional and advanced state in evolutionary trends in the family.

This research was carried out to compare structure, equilibrium moisture content(EMC), adsorption and acoustical properties between 4 retention levels of saligenin(o-hydroxybenzyl alcohol) treated, heat-treated and untreated chestnut(Castanea crenata S. et Z.) and paulownia(Paulownia spp.) woods. The cell structures of untreated wood and heat-treated wood were not different but the cell wall of saligenin treated wood was thicker than that of untreated wood for both species. EMC of untreated wood was the highest, next was that of heat-treated wood, and that of saligenin treated wood was the lowest, and among saligenin treated woods, EMC was decreased as retention level increased for both species. Adsorption curves were parabolically increased. Acoustical properties of saligenin treated wood were most improved, and the next were those of heat-treated wood. Comprehensive acoustical property was improved at retention level 20% and 30% for chestnut wood, and at retention level 80% for paulownia wood.

This study was carried out to improve coating structure by controlling the electrostatic interaction of coating components and by changing the coating structure of coated paper prepared with amphoteric and anionic latices. The results indicated that amphoteric latex copolymerized with carboxylic and amine groups had stronger interaction with other coating components than anionic latex with branched carboxylic group by controlling pH. These properties of amphoteric latex showed positive effects on viscosity rheology, and supernatant sediment of coating color. The coated paper using amphoteric latex had also produced more porous and smoother coverage of the coating layer than that using anionic latex. This porous and smooth coating layer showed better optical properties and printability than those of anionic latex such as opacity, porosity, ink set-off, and wet ink receptivity.

The anatomical structure of fusiform ray was examined by scanning electron microscopy (and microscopic images were analysed by image analyser) to explain the differences in radial fluid uptake between the extremes in the radial treatment data, i.e. between the selected trees of QCI (Queen Charlotte Islands in Rhondda, South Wales) and SO (South Oregon in Dalby, North-East England) planted in the UK. The ray structure of these two seed origins was examined microscopically and different patterns of ray composition were observed. The most important anatomical features influencing radial permeability were the nature of fusiform ray, and the condition of the resin canals, epithelial cells and intercellular spaces in particular.

Yangjindang house, which is located in Sang-ju province of South Korea, is one of the special Hanok structures dated back to Joseon dynasty. This study aims to examine structural safety of the Yangjindang wood frame building considering dynamic parameters such as the natural frequency and damping ratio. The numerical model of the wood frame building is implemented using Midas Gen, especially the wood joint where column and beam were connected. The behavior of the actual frame building was compared with the modeling results. In addition, structure responses such as shear force, axial force, flexural moment and deflections were calculated and compared with the allowable limits. Numerical results show that, generally, despite of some local members shear failure, Yangjindang's structural response does not exceed the limitation according to current standards.

Recently, it changes to the frame construction in the wall type structure for the life span improvement of the apartment house of our country. The execution of the light panel increased while the execution of the frame construction increased. Therefore, the density and absorption ratio of the magnesium oxide matrix according to the wood flour amount of addition ratio property try to be analyze for the lightweight of the surface material of the light panel. The test result, the density has been declined as the addition ratio increase of the wood flour. In the case of the water absorption ratio, water absorption ratio has been increased as addition ratio increase of wood flour. However, wood flour addition ratio 15% determined the most appropriate when considering the density and water absorption ratio.

In order to elucidate chemical structure of the wood extractives, softwood (Pinus koraiensis Sieb. et Zucc.) meal was extracted with 95% ethanol at room temperature for 72 hours. The extract was fractionated with organic solvents such as n-hexane, ether, ethylacetate, and acetone. From the n-hexane and ether soluble fraction of the wood extractives, four flavonoid compounds were isolated and identified as 5-hydroxy-7-methoxyflavone (I), 5-methoxy-7-hydroxyflavone (II), 5-hydroxy-7-methoxyflavanone (III), and 5-methoxy-7-hydroxyflavanone (IV) by UV, IR, $^1$H-NMR spectroscopy and MS spectrometry.
