This study analysis the effect of various temperatures (20, 35 and $50^{\circ}C$) on the formaldehyde emission from wood composites, which were particleboard (PB), medium density fiberboard (MDF), high density fiberboard (HDF) and laminated HDF (L-HDF) by Japanese desiccator method. Also, to reduce formaldehyde emission by wood composites, it has been suggested that undergo a bake-out conditions. On average, the level of formaldehyde emission increased many times with a $15^{\circ}C$ increase in temperature from 20 to $35^{\circ}C$ for PB, MDF, HDF and L-HDF, respectively. Formaldehyde emissions from wood composites could be expected to increase with increasing ambient temperature. At $35$ for 28 days bake-out treatment of boards, the free formaldehyde emission reduced 67.8% (PB), 40.1% (MDF), 37.8% (HDF), and 35.2% (L-HDF). On the other hand, after the bake-out at $50^{\circ}C$ for 28 days, the formaldehyde concentration decreased by 88.2, 66.9, 62.2 and 59.3% of the concentration before the bake-out for PB, MDF, HDF and L-HDF, respectively. An interesting of the bake-out treatment at $50^{\circ}C$ after 14 days, formaldehyde emission grade of PB & MDF down $E_2$ to $E_1$, and HDF & L-HDF down $E_1$ to $E_0$.

This study was carried out to determine the Joint characteristic of L-type specimens. L-type specimens were made of two kinds uf solid woods(Antiaris, Sepetir) and three kinds of wood based materials(plywood, particleboard, medium density fiberboard). They were constructed with PVC anchor and screw, and were discussed with joint strength and stiffness coefficients. The obtained results were as follows: 1. Bending strength showed very high increasing rate from one to three used PVC anchor and screw but was a little rise from three to four used PVC anchor and screw in solid wood. However. in wood based materials, it was unchanged without increasing rate or slight decreased from three to four used PVC anchor and screw. 2. The stiffness coefficients, or Z-values, were in the range from $4.704\times10^{-4}$ to $1.864\times10^{-3}$(rad/kgf-cm). They showed $10^{-3}$ level in one PVC anchor and screw but $10^{-4}$ level in two, three. four PVC anchor and screw. Accordingly, they indicated flexible joints in one PVC anchor and screw and relatively stable joints in two, three. four PVC anchor and screw. 3. Measured ultimate bending moments were 258.70kgf-cm in plywood and 142.68kgf-cm in medium density fiberboard. 4. Comparing with dowel joint. the joint strength used PVC anchor screw was inferior to 8mm and 10mm dowel diameter but differ little from 6mm dowel diameter.

본 연구는 섬유판 가공 부산물 분말을 충전제로 첨가한 바이오복합재를 제조하여 그 적용가능성을 평가하기 위하여 수행하였다. 섬유판 가공부산물인 고밀도섬유판(high density fiber board, HDF) 부산물 분말을 polyolefin계 고분자인 low-density polyethylene (LDPE)과 polypropylene (PP)에 첨가하여 바이오복합재를 제조하였다. 제조된 바이오복합재를 이용하여 기계적 성질과 가공성을 측정하였다. 이후 각각 목분(wood flour, WF)과 왕겨분말(rice-husk flour, RHF)을 LDPE와 PP에 충전제로 첨가한 바이오복합재와도 그 기계적 성질과 가공성을 비교하였다. HDF 분말-LDPE 바이오복합재와 HDF 분말-PP 바이오복합재의 인장강도 및 충격강도는 각각 목분이나 왕겨분말을 LDPE나 PP에 충전제로 첨가한 바이오복합재와 비슷한 기계적 강도값을 나타내었다. 바이오복합재의 가공성은 토크를 측정하였는데, HDF 분말-LDPE 바이오복합재와 HDF 분말-PP 바이오복합재는 동일한 기질고분자에 목분이나 왕겨분말을 첨가한 바이오복합재보다 낮은 값을 보였다. 또한, HDF 분말-LDPE 바이오복합재 및 HDF 분말-PP 바이오복합재는 HDF 분말의 입자분포와 상관없이 일정한 가공성을 보였다. 따라서 섬유판 가공 부산물이 첨가된 바이오복합재를 현재 바이오복합재 산업에서 이용되고 있는 바이오복합재를 대처하여 적용할 수 있다고 볼 수 있다.

We show how comparative mean residual life functions (MRL) can be used to give unique insights into strengths of materials data. Recall that Weibull's original reliability function was developed studying and fitting strengths for various materials. This creative comparing of MRL functions approach can be used for regular life data or any time to response data. We apply graphical MRL's to real data from tests of tensile strength of high quality engineered wood.

Recently, natural fiber reinforced composite is attracting attention and considered as an environmentally friendly material. Usually cellulosic fibers are used to reinforce the composites, but some protein fibers such as silk and wool serve the same purpose. In this paper, we proposed a method of producing artistic composite from artistic fabric by using silk fiber reinforced biodegradable plastic, which is designated as 'silk composite', for reinforcement. In order to expand applications of the silk composite, we performed the compression molding of decorative laminates with woody material, which was selected as a core material, and examined the properties of molded decorative laminates with various content of the silk composite. Since plywood and medium-density fiberboard (MDF) are widely used for decorative laminates, we selected them as core materials. As a result, flexible decorative laminates with high flexural strength were obtained by compounding the silk composite with wood materials.

본 연구에서는 목재로부터 신속한 폼알데하이드 정량분석 시험법을 개발하고자 챔버법을 변형한 방법을 설계하였으며, 톱밥시료는 0.15-2.0 mm 크기의 입자를 사용하였고, 휘발부와 포집부가 분리된 장치에서 휘발온도 및 질소유량별 폼알데하이드 포집률을 측정하였다. 그 결과 질소유량 40 mL/min, $100^{\circ}C$ 조건에서 30분간 포집 할 경우 94.8%의 최대 포집률이 확인되었으며, 본 공정의 농도별 폼알데하이드 포집률은 71.0-94.8% ($r^2$=0.9968)로 확인되었으며, 목재 중 총 폼알데하이드 농도가 증가 할수록 휘발된 폼알데하이드량이 정량적으로 증가함을 확인할 수 있었다($r^2$=0.8234). 목재종류 별 폼알데하이드 평균 함량은 천연톱밥(0.7-4.6 ${\mu}g/g$), 방부목(3.9-5.6 ${\mu}g/g$), 접착제 사용 가공목재(5.9-211.5 ${\mu}g/g$) 순으로 낮은 함량을 확인하였고, 각 그룹별 폼알데하이드 분석결과에 대한 Duncan's multiple range test 수행결과 천연톱밥과 접착제를 사용하지 않는 방부목은 95% 신뢰수준에서 유의적 차이를 나타내지 않았으나, 천연톱밥과 접착제 사용목재간에는 동일 수준에서 유의차가 확인되었다. 이러한 결과로 볼 때, 접착제가 사용된 목재는 본 시험분석을 통해 신속하게 천연목재와 구분이 가능 할 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.

본 연구는 목질계 섬유판 제조에 있어 목섬유에 대한 도계부산물인 닭털의 부분적 대체화 가능성을 검토하기 위하여 수행하였다. 닭털은 주로 케라틴계 단백질로 구성되어 있으며, 외형적으로 목섬유와 큰 차이는 없었다. 닭털의 전처리 방법에 따른 포름알데히드 흡착능을 비교한 결과, 닭털을 고온/고압에서 처리하고 분쇄한 우모분에서 가장 높았다. 한편 일반 가위로 절단한 닭털과 이를 가정용 믹서로 고해시킨 닭털의 폼알데히드 흡착량을 dinitrophenylhydrazine법으로 측정한 결과 차이는 없었다. 닭털, 고해 닭털, 우모분을 각각 목섬유의 전건무게를 기준으로 5 wt%로 혼합하여 제조한 중밀도섬유판(MDF)의 물성과 폼알데히드방출량은 닭털의 전처리 조건에 영향을 받지 않았다. 그러나 이 측정치를 목섬유만으로 제조한 MDF와 비교하였을 때, 두께팽윤율과 폼알데히드방출량은 크게 개선되었다. 따라서 현재 생산 현장에서 적용되고 있는 요소수지를 이용한 MDF 제조에 있어 목섬유와 함께 일정한 양의 닭털, 고해 닭털 또는 우모분을 첨가할 경우 치수안전성과 폼알데히드방출량이 개선된 MDF의 제조가 가능할 것으로 예상된다. 그러나 MDF제조에 있어 닭털의 사용은 현재 상황에서 목섬유와 비교하여 원료 확보의 어려움과 높은 단가로 경제성이 낮은 것으로 조사되었다. 경제성 향상을 위하여 중소형 도계장에서 발생하는 닭털을 이용하거나, 동물성 사료의 금지에 대한 대비책 및 인플루엔자 감염 조류에 대한 환경적 처리 방안으로 닭털의 섬유판 원료에 대한 부분적 대체화 기술은 향후 사용 가능성이 충분할 것으로 판단된다.

This research was conducted to investigate the linear expansion and resistance properties of a composite board (com-ply). This board was made of medium-density fiberboard (MDF) laminated using avocado (Persea americana), mahogany (Swietenia mahogani), and pine (Pinus merkusii) veneers. These three types of veneers were laminated on both surfaces of the MDF using adhesives, namely, epoxy and isocyanate. Glue (250 g·m^-2) was spread on the surface, followed by cold press for 3 h with an applied pressure of 15 kg·cm^-2. The research result revealed that com-ply exhibited an increased dimensional stability compared with MDF, indicated by reduction in water absorption, thickness swelling, and linear expansion. The com-ply made of the pine veneer and isocyanate adhesive exhibited high density, water absorption, thickness swelling, and screw withdrawal load. The com-ply that exhibited the strongest resistance to drywood termite attacks was the one made of the mahogany veneer and isocyanate adhesive. Moreover, the com-ply that exhibited the biggest weight loss (3.6 %) was made of the pine veneer and epoxy adhesive. The results of this research may facilitate in manufacturing com-ply using the selected veneer and adhesive without the application of hot press.
