Characteristics of carbonized fiberboard such as chemical materials absorption, electromagnetic shielding, and electrical and mechanical performance were determined in previous studies. The carbonized board therefore confirmed that having excellent abilities of these characteristics. In this study, the effect of density on physical properties and sound absorption properties of carbonized fiberboards at $800^{\circ}C$ were investigated for the potential use of carbonized fiberboards as a replacement of conventional sound absorbing material. The thickness of fiberboards after carbonization was reduced 49.9%, 40.7%, and 43.3% in low density fiberboard (LDF), medium density fiberboard (MDF), and high density fiberboard (HDF), respectively. Based on SEM images, porosity of carbonized fiberboard increased by carbonization due to removing adhesives. Moreover, carbonization did not destroy structure of wood fiber based on SEM results. Carbonization process influenced contraction of fiberboard. The sound absorption coefficient of carbonized low density fiberboard (c-LDF) was higher than those of carbonized medium density fiberboard (c-MDF) and carbonized high density fiberboard (c-HDF). This result was similar with original fiberboards, which indicated sound absorbing ability was not significantly changed by carbonization compared to that of original fiberboards. Therefore, the sound absorbing coefficient may depend on source, texture, and density of fiberboard rather than carbonization.

This study was carried out to use carbonized medium density fiberboard (MDF) for the replacement of sound absorbing material. Carbonization treatment was performed to improve sound absorption property for MDF at carbonizing temperatures of $500^{\circ}C$, $700^{\circ}C$, $900^{\circ}C$ and $1100^{\circ}C$. As the carbonization temperature increased, the results of the observation by scanning electron microscope (SEM) demonstrated that the fibers exhibited a more compressed morphology within the surface section of the MDF than those within the middle section of MDF. As the carbonizing temperature increased, the cavity increased. The sound absorption coefficient increased between the temperatures of $500^{\circ}C$ and $900^{\circ}C$, but decreased at a temperature of $1100^{\circ}C$. The sound absorption properties of the carbonized MDF and the non-carbonized MDF were compared. The maximum sound absorption coefficient of the carbonized MDF was 12.38%. This was almost double of the value of the non-carbonized MDF.

Increases of public attention on healthy environment lead to the regulation of indoor air quality such as Clean Healthy House Construction Standard. This standard covers emission of total volatile organic compounds (TVOCs) (e.g., formaldehyde, benzene, and toluene), ventilation, and use of environmentally-friendly products or functional products. Moisture absorption and desorption abilities are a recommended functionality for improving indoor air quality. In this study, moisture absorption and desorption capacities of carbonized board from wood-based panels and other materials were determined by using UNT-HEAT-01 according to ISO 24358:2008. Pine had higher moisture absorption and desorption capacities ($49.0g/m^2$ and $35.3g/m^2$, respectively) than hinoki cypress, cement board, gypsum board, oriented strand board, and medium density fiberboard (MDF). The moisture absorption and desorption capacities differed considerably according to the wood species. After carbonization process at $400^{\circ}C$, the absorption and desorption ability of MDF increased to 38% and 60%, respectively. However, moisture absorption and desorption capacities decreased with increasing carbonization temperature, but they were still higher than original MDF. Therefore, it is suggested that carbonization below $600^{\circ}C$ can improve moisture absorption/desorption capacities.

선행연구에서 다양한 목질 보드류를 열분해하여 다공질 탄화보드 제조에 성공하였고, 높은 난연성, 전자파차폐성, 원적외선방사, 폼알데하이드 흡착성, 흡음성능을 확인하였다. 본 연구에서는 경제성과 흡음성이 뛰어난 탄화 중밀도 섬유판(MDF)을 선택하여 보다 높은 흡음성능을 부여하기 위해 다른 흡음재료에도 사용 중인 샌딩처리와 타공기법을 시도하였다. 또한 개선된 흡음성능을 바탕으로 실제 음향판을 제작하여 그 음향적 효과를 파악하였다. 탄화 MDF를 십자모양(타공 5개), 직사각형모양(타공 9개), 일자모양(타공 5개)으로 타공 처리한 후, 흡음률을 측정한 결과, 무처리 탄화 MDF의 흡음률은 14% 정도를 나타내었고, 직사각형모양 타공 시편이 16.01%로 흡음률이 가장 높았고 십자모양 타공 시편이 15.68%, 일자 타공 시편은 14.25%의 흡음률을 나타내어 그 효과가 미미하였다. 반면에, 탄화 MDF의 표면을 각 1, 2, 3 mm로 표면샌딩 처리후 흡음률을 측정한 결과, 무처리 시편(13%)에 비해 65% 증가한 21.7% (1 mm 샌딩), 21.83% (2 mm 샌딩), 19.37% (3 mm 샌딩)를 확인하였다. 이 결과를 바탕으로 실대형 탄화보드 복합 음향판을 제작하였으며 잔향실법으로 흡음시험한 결과 감음계수 0.45로 높은 흡음성능을 발휘하여 상업화도 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

탄화보드의 실용화를 위한 기초연구로 중밀도섬유판, 파티클보드, 합판 및 물푸레나무 목재를 $400{\sim}1,100^{\circ}C$로 탄화하여 탄화온도에 따른 열전도율 및 전기적 성질을 측정하였다. 열전도율은 탄화 파티클보드의 탄화온도가 $900^{\circ}C$일 때 0.1326 m/k로 가장 우수하였으며, 전반적으로 탄화보드의 밀도가 클수록 열전도율이 빨랐다. 비저항값은 탄화온도가 높을수록 감소하여 탄화온도 $1,000^{\circ}C$ 이후에는 거의 도체에 가까운 값을 나타냈다. 높은 전압으로 탄화보드에 전기를 통했을 때 전류와 전력은 증가하였으며 표면온도가 높았다.

Environmental issues about indoor air quality have been increased and focused on volatile organic compounds (VOCs) caused cancer, asthma, and skin disease. Reducing VOCs has been attempted in many different methods such as using environmentally friendly materials and air cleaner or purifier. Charcoal is well known material for absorbing VOCs. Therefore, carbonized board from medium density fiberboard has been developed. We assumed that the source of carbonized boards can be any type of wood-based panels. In this study, carbonized boards were manufactured from oriented strand board (OSB) at 400, 600, 800, and $1000^{\circ}C$. Each carbonized OSB (c-OSB) was evaluated and determined physiomechanical characteristics such as exterior defects, dimensional shrinkage, modulus of elasticity, and bending strength. No external defects were observed on c-OSBs at all carbonizing conditions. As carbonizing temperature increased, less porosity between carbonized wood fibers was observed by SEM analysis. The higher rate of dimensional shrinkage was observed on c-OSB at $1000^{\circ}C$ (66%) than c-OSB at 400, 600, and $800^{\circ}C$ (47%, 58%, and 63%, respectively). The densities of c-OSBs were lower than original OSB, but there was no significant different among the c-OSBs. The bending strength of c-OSB increased 1.58 MPa (c-OSB at $400^{\circ}C$) to 8.03 MPa (c-OSB at $1000^{\circ}C$) as carbonization temperature increased. Carbonization temperature above $800^{\circ}C$ yielded higher bonding strength than that of gypsum board (4.6 MPa). In conclusion, c-OSB may be used in sealing and wall for decorating purpose without additional artwork compare to c-MDF which has smooth surface.

중밀도섬유판(MDF)에 글씨나 그림을 새김질한 목판을 제조하고, 이를 탄화하여 서각작품을 제작하는 방법을 개발하였다. 섬유판의 탄화에 따른 외형적 및 조직학적 변화를 검토하고 제작된 탄화보드 서각작품에 대한 미학적 특징을 고찰하였다. 서각한 MDF를 $850^{\circ}C$에서 탄화한 결과, 할열이나 뒤틀림은 관찰되지 않았으며, 치수는 가로 21.8%, 세로 18.8%, 두께 43.5% 줄어들었고, 중량은 69.2%, 밀도는 14.8% 감소하였다. 탄화보드의 전자 현미경에 의한 관찰 결과, 당초 섬유의 표면과 벽공을 둘러싸고 있던 접착제가 탄화되면서 목질섬유의 표면이 매끄럽게 변하고 벽공이 개열되며 섬유의 크기가 균일화되고 조직이 치밀화되는 현상을 나타내었다. 수작업에 의한 서각기법과 무할열 탄화기법의 융합에 의해 새로운 탄화보드 서각작품의 제작이 가능하였다. 탄화보드 서 각작품은 목탄의 기능성과 서각의 아름다움을 부여하는 새로운 친환경 예술영역의 한 분야로서 이용될 수 있을 것이다.

In this study, the relative effectiveness of antimony trioxide-containing coat on fire retardancy of plywood, particleboard and medium density fiberboard was investigated and compared through ISO ignition test and inclined panel test with non-coated ones. The results obtained were summarized as fallows: Any treated materials was not ignited in inclined panel test with 5 minutes, but only particleboard among treated ones burned in ISO ignition test with fairly delayed time. The weight loss rate of plywood decreased with the increased addition level of fire-retardant and the least values were obtained in particleboard and MDF at addition level of 7% and 5% respectively. Carbonized area of wood based materials decreased with the increased addition level of fire retardant. The temperatures of back in plywood, particleboard treated with fire-retard ant coat containing 7% $Sb_2O_3$ showed the lowest but MDF did not show any effectiveness with the increased addition level. The first flash time of plywood treated with fire retardant coat containing 9% $Sb_2O_3$, MDF and particleboard treated with fire retardant coat containing 7% $Sb_2O_3$ were 257sec., 286.4sec., 165.4sec. respectively.
