Wood filler is a porous and anisotropic material having different size, shape, and aspect ratio. The use of wood fillers such as wood particle, wood flour, and wood pulp in wood plastic composites (WPCs) are growing rapidly because these wood fillers give improved strength and stiffness to WPCs. However, the wood fillers have originally poor compatibility with plastic matrix affecting the mechanical properties of WPCs. Therefore, to improve compatibility between wood and plastic, numbers of physical and chemical treatments were investigated. While the various treatments led to improved performances in WPC industries using petroleum-based plastics, full biodegradation is still issues due to increased environmental concerns. Hence, bio-based plastics such as polylactide and polyhydroxybutyrate having biodegradable characteristics are being applied to WPCs, but relatively expensive prices of existing bio-based plastics prevent further uses. As conventional processing methods, extrusion, injection, and compression moldings have been used in WPC industries, but to apply WPCs to engineered or structural places, new processing methods should be developed. As one system, co-extrusion technique was introduced to WPCs and the co-extruded WPCs having core-shell structures make the extended applications of WPCs possible.

In the present study, chopped henequen natural fibers without and with surface modification by electron beam (E-beam) treatment were incorporated into a polypropylene matrix. Prior to composite fabrication, a bundle of raw henequen fibers were treated at various E-beam intensities from 10 kGy to 500 kGy. The effect of E-beam intensity on the interfacial, mechanical and thermal properties of randomly oriented henequen/polypropylene composites with the fiber contents of 40 vol% was investigated focusing on the interfacial shear strength, flexural and tensile properties, dynamic mechanical properties, thermal stability, and fracture behavior. Each characteristic of the material strongly depended on the E-beam intensity irradiated, showing an increasing or decreasing effect. The present study demonstrates that henequen fiber surfaces can be modified successfully with an appropriate dosage of electron beam and use of a low E-beam intensity of 10 kGy results in the improvement of the interfacial properties, flexural properties, tensile properties, dynamic mechanical properties and thermal stability of henequen/polypropylene composites.

친환경 건축자재에 대한 관심이 높아짐에 따라서 가구 및 건축 내외장재로 사용되는 목질복합재료에 대한 친환경적 성능에 대한 요구는 점차 커져가는 추세이다. 목질 복합재료는 일반적으로 그 자체로 사용하기 보다는 표면재를 붙여서 사용하는데 이때 사용되는 요소포름알데히드 접착제를 친환경적인 SIS계 핫벨트 점착제로 대체코자 하는 데 이 연구의 목적이 있다. 본 연구에서는 기질고분자의 diblock 함량, 점착부여수지의 연화점 및 함량 등을 변화시키면서 여러 종류의 핫벨트 점착제를 제조하고 각각의 점착제에 의한 무늬목 부착성능을 평가함으로써 점착형 표면재에 대한 가능성을 제기하였다.

광개시제 함량이 0.5 wt%, 1 wt%, 2 wt%인 UV 경화형 분체도료를 배합하고 낮은 온도에서도 용융되는 수지를 선택하여 열민감성 기재에 적용이 가능함을 알아보았다. 열민감성 기재로는 PVC와 목재제품(MDF, 합판 등)을 선택하여 표면경도, 광택, 부착력을 통해서 기재와의 상관관계를 알아보았다. 광개시제 양이 증가할수록 가교밀도가 증가하여 도막이 brittle해지는 경향을 보였고, 그에 따라 부착력이 감소하였다. 열민감성 기재에 적용한 결과, 표면경도는 기재에 영향을 받지 않았지만 광택은 기재에 따라서 차이가 나타났다. 그리고 UV 경화형 분체도료의 부착력은 열민감성 기재에 적용하기에 충분하였다. 본 연구 결과, UV 경화형 분체도료에서 광개시제 함량이 중요한 인자이며 열민감성 기재에 적용이 가능함을 확인하였다.

본 연구는 현악기에 사용되는 현악기용 도료가 현악기의 음향성능에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 음향분석장치(FFT)를 이용하여 목재악기용 도료의 도막두께에 따른 음향적 성능을 평가하였다. 목재악기용으로 사용된 도료는 악기용 우레탄계 상도도료, 오일 스테인계 도료, 자외선 경화형 에폭시 도료이다. 형성된 도막의 음향적인 특성은 FFT 분석기에서 측정된 공명주파수와 댐핑값(damping factor)으로부터 동적탄성계수와 전단탄성계수를 계산하여 얻고, 밀도와의 관계와 탄성계수간의 관계를 통하여 도막의 두께에 따른 음향적인 특성을 측정하고 비교분석하여 상관관계를 조사하였다.

Formaldehyde and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are emitted from wood-based panels that have been made using wood particles, wood fiber, wood chips, formaldehyde-based resins and so on. In this study, we examined formaldehyde and total VOCs (TVOC) emission behaviors for plywood overlaid with water-soluble phenolic resin impregnated linerboard (PL), and two kinds of surface materials (decorative veneer and pre-impregnated finishing foil) that were adhered onto the PL that named DPL and PPL. EVA (ethyl vinyl acetate) was used to overlay the decorative veneer and pre-impregnated finishing foil on the plywood with water-soluble phenolic resin impregnated linerboard by a hot press instrument. The debonding test and accelerated aging test were conducted to assess their mechanical properties. Formaldehyde and TVOC emission concentrations were measured using the FLEC method and a VOC Analyzer, respectively. The debonding test results of PL, DPL and PPL were 1.2, 1.5, and $0.5N/mm^2$, respectively. The surface appearance of the samples were not changed after the accelerated aging test. The PL and DPL exhibited reduced formaldehyde and TVOC emission levels, respectively. In the case of PPL, the VOC value was relatively higher than those of PL and DPL.

Wood composites are a hygroscopic material and have ability to exchange its moisture content with air. This study investigated the formaldehyde emission and moisture content change of four wood composites (particleboard (PB), medium density fiberboard (MDF), high density fiberboard (HDF), laminated HDF (L-HDF)) as a function of bake-out temperature and time. The composites were baked out for 1, 3, 5, 7, 10, 14, 21, and 28 days at temperatures of $20{\pm}2$, $35{\pm}2$, and $50{\pm}2^{\circ}C$ in a dry oven. The moisture content change was used to determine the emission bake-out of the composites. Best bake-out time results were obtained with after 7 days all composites. Formaldehyde emission values of composites decreased with decreasing moisture content for both temperatures. The formaldehyde emission results of bake-out temperature 35 and $50^{\circ}C$ showed a similar tendency.

The objective of this research was executed to investigate the effect of molar ratio of formaldehyde to urea and melamine (F/(U+M)) of urea-melamine-formaldehyde (UMF) resin on bonding high and low moisture content veneers. For that purpose, UMF resin types with 5 different F/(U+M) molar ratios (1.45, 1.65, 1.85, 2.05, and 2.25) synthesized were used in present study. First, their curing behavior was evaluated by differential scanning calorimetry. Second, their adhesion performance in bonding high and low moisture content veneers was evaluated by probe tack and dry and wet shear strength tests. Curing temperature and reaction enthalpy decreased with the increase of F/(U+M) molar ratio. And the dry and wet shear strengthsof plywood manufactured from low moisture content veneers were higher than thoseof plywood manufactured from high moisture content veneers. Also, the maximum initial tack force on the low moisture content veneer was higher than that on the high moisture content veneer.
