Wood-plastic composites (WPC) are gaining market share in the building industry because of durability/maintenance advantages of WPC over traditional wood products and because of the removal of chromated copper arsenate (CCA) pressure-treated wood from the market. In order to ensure continued market share growth, WPC manufacturers need greater focus on reliability, quality, and cost. The reliability methods outlined in this paper can be used to improve the quality of WPC and lower manufacturing costs by reducing raw material inputs and minimizing WPC waste. Statistical methods are described for analyzing stiffness (tangent modulus of elasticity: MOE) and flexural strength (modulus of rupture: MOR) test results on sampled WPC panels. Descriptive statistics, graphs, and reliability plots from these test data are presented and interpreted. Sources of variability in the MOE and MOR of WPC are suggested. The methods outlined may directly benefit WPC manufacturers through a better understanding of strength and stiffness measures, which can lead to process improvements and, ultimately, a superior WPC product with improved reliability, thereby creating greater customer satisfaction.

Environmentally-friendly polymer composite films were manufactured from cellulose acetate (CA) and polyethylene (PE). To investigate the optimum manufacturing conditions for the composite, various tests such as thermal analysis, surface observation, IR spectra analysis, and elongation ratio of polymer composite films were carried out. The mixing ratio of each element and manufacture condition was found to be very important for the best goods.

목재 부산물 등을 활용하여 제조되는 목재펠릿(pellet)은 가공되는 방식과 추가되는 부산물의 종류, 목재펠릿난로의 종류에 따라 완전연소가 아닌 불완전연소가 일어나는 경우가 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 불완전연소로 인한 환경오염과 에너지 낭비를 줄이기 위해 목재펠릿난로 연소 작용의 핵심부인 연소기를 개발하였다. 현재 시중에서 유통되고 있는 목재펠릿난로의 연소 작용을 담당하고 있는 연소기의 한계점을 넘기 위해 다층구조(Multi Layer)방식이라 명명하는 새로운 구조의 연소기 방식을 창안하고, CAD (Computer Aided Design) program으로 설계 후 3D 프린터를 활용하여 실현 가능성을 검증하였다. 검증된 데이터를 바탕으로 다층구조(Mulit Layer)방식의 목재펠릿난로의 연소 작용을 담당하는 연소기의 시제품(Prototype)을 설계, 제작하여 실험을 진행하였다. 실험의 신뢰도를 위해 동일한 날짜, 장소, 연료를 사용하여 현재 시중에서 유통되어 판매되고 있는 목재펠릿난로의 연소기와 본 연구에서 개발한 목재펠릿난로의 연소기를 비교실험하였다. 실험의 결과로 환경적인 측면에서 일산화탄소(Carbon Monoxide) 배출량의 감소를 확인하였고, 에너지 효율면에서 상대적으로 높은 열효율 결과를 도출하여 긍정적인 결과를 나타냈다.

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.

An automated manufacturing process mechanism for string musical instruments has been designed in this study. In contrast to other manufacturing products, classical string instruments try to preserve their traditional design shapes even in these days and involve variety of wood working(carpentry) characteristics including highly skilled curved surfaces treatments. Great efforts have been put to develop an integrated and automated system for improved product quality and process control, reduced physical labors, better safety etc. They, however, have been limited to devise jigs and tools with regard to selected processes due to lack of technology and research man-powers. We carefully examined the products and process characteristics, and an automated mechanism which overcome prevailing drawbacks has been derived.

Objective: The objective of this study was to estimate the numbers of employees occupationally exposed to noise according to their industry and size. Methods: A Delphi panel consisting of 15 occupational health experts estimated the exposure prevalence of noise in workplace. Data on Industrial Accident Compensation Insurance provided from Occupational Safety and Health Research Institute were combined to produce the exposure population. Results: In Korea, 16.0% of employees, 2,539,890 out of 15,838,926, was estimated to exposed to noise occupationally. The rate was 32.7% and 10.3% in manufacturing sector and non-manufacturing sector, respectively. The highest rate, 52.5%, was found in manufacturing industries of wood and of products of wood and cork(except furniture) and of other transport equipment. Sorted by their size of business, the rate was higher as the number of employee was larger in manufacturing sector. Conclusions: Compared to the same rate estimated in the US, 17.2%, the result of this study seems to be in a resonable range.

본 연구의 목적은 국산 구조용 집성재를 대상으로, 제조과정의 탄소배출을 정량화하고 탄소배출 저감방안을 제시하는 것이다. 총 2개소의 구조용 집성재 제조업체를 대상으로 원료, 수송, 제조 공정, 제조에 의한 에너지소비량 등을 현장 실사하였다. 현장에서 수집한 자료 및 구축된 전과정목록과 같은 관련문헌을 토대로 단위부피당 탄소배출을 정량화하였다. 국산 구조용 집성재의 제재 및 건조, 집성 공정별 온실가스 배출결과는 각각 31.0, 109.0, 94.2 kg $CO_2eq./m^3$으로 나타났다. 수입 구조용 집성재와 비교하였을 때 약 13% 온실가스를 적게 배출하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 기존의 건조 에너지원을 바이오매스로 전환시에는 기존 대비 37%의 온실가스를 감축하여 친환경성을 제고할 수 있을 것으로 판단되었다. 본 결과는 향후 목조주택의 환경성을 규명하기 위한 전과정평가 수행 시, 투입된 목재제품의 전과정목록분석을 위한 기초자료로 활용될 것으로 기대된다.

This study was carried out to develop low density board made of rice hull which needs proper use. Urea formaldehyde adhesive(UF) was used. The raw materials were the mixtures of the rice hulls from IllFum, DongGin, ChuChong, etc. The physical and mechanical properties of rice hull insulation board were examined. The results are as follows : For the thickness of 15mm of the low density rice hull board bonded with UF resin, proper manufacturing conditions were $171^{\circ}C$ of hot pressing temperature with thickness bar for optimum density, 12 percent of resin solid contents of rice hull ovendry weight, and 20 minutes of hot pressing time. These conditions meet Korean standards(KS 3201-1982) in relation to free formaldehyde emission, bending strength, water absorption and heat resistance.

본 연구는 국산 잣나무를 활용한 구조용집성판(cross laminated timber; CLT) 제조 기술 확립을 위한 일환으로 구조 용집성판 제작 시 접착조건을 구명하기 위해 수행되었다. 페놀레조시놀공축합수지(phenol resorcinol formaldehyde; PRF) 접착제를 적용하여 도포량과 압체압력 조건을 달리하여 목리가 수직 또는 수평한 경우의 전단시험에 의해 접착 강도를 확인하였다. 실험결과, 적정 접착조건은 도포량 $250g/m^2$, 압체압력 0.8 MPa로 결정하였다. 목리방향별 접착력에 있어서는 목리를 수직방향으로 접착할 때 평행하게 접착된 경우보다 낮은 값을 보였다. 이는 목리를 수직방향으로 접착한 시험편의 경우 다수가 롤링전단에 의해 파괴된 것과 연관이 있는 것으로 판단되었다. 한편 목리가 수평한 방향으로 접착된 경우, 국내외 기준에서 제시하고 있는 전단접착 강도 기준을 만족하였으며 목리가 수직한 방향으로 접착한 경우 국외 기준에 제시된 기준을 만족하였다. 본 연구에서 도출된 최적 접착조건을 적용하여 국산 잣나무 구조용집성판 제조 시 국내외 기준에 준하는 접착성능 확보가 가능할 것이며, 또한 도출 데이터는 구조용집성판 및 구조용집성재 제조 시 참고 데이터로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.
