The ecofriendly lifestyle has attracted considerable support for sustainable development. Natural dyes, as sustainable products, have become a research focus and development area for many scientists. Ecofriendly processing also supports circular sustainable development. This study effectively obtained tannins as a natural dye from merbau (Intsia bijuga) sawdust using water as an ecofriendly solvent. Merbau sawdust is an underutilized industrial waste. Temperature and solid-solvent ratio variations were performed to extract tannins from merbau sawdust. Temperature and solid-solvent ratio positively affected solution yield and tannin concentration. The optimal condition was identified using response surface methodology and experimental observations. A yield of 0.2217 g tannins/g merbau was obtained under the conditions of 333.15 K and 0.125 solid-solvent ratio. Extraction was controlled by convective mass transfer at the interface of solid particles.

For efficient use and expansion of domestic small- and medium-diameter woods, cross-laminated wood panels composed of tropical hardwoods and domestic temperate woods were fabricated, and the bending creep behavior under long-term loading was investigated. The bending creep curve of the cross-laminated wood panels showed an exponential function graph with a sharp increase at the top right side. The wood panel composed of a teak top layer and larch core and bottom layers recorded the highest initial deformation, and that composed of a merbau top layer and tulip core and bottom layers showed the lowest initial deformation. Creep deformation of the cross-laminated wood panels showed the highest value in that composed of a teak top layer and larch core and bottom layers and showed the lowest value in that composed of a merbau top layer and tulip core and bottom layers. The obtained creep deformation is 3.1-4.3 times that of merbau, however, it is remarkably lower than that of tulip and larch. The highest relative creep was recorded by the wood panel composed of merbau top layer and larch core and bottom layers, whereas that composed of the teak top layer and tulip core and bottom layers showed the lowest relative creep.

본 연구는 국내에서 주로 사용되는 수입 목재 수종의 화재 안전성 평가에 대한 기초 자료를 구축하기 위하여 연소 및 열적 특성을 분석하였다. 연소 특성은 KS F ISO 5660-1 규정에 의거한 콘 칼로리미터 시험 방법으로 열방출률, 총 방출열량, 연소 가스 발생, 그리고 중량 감소를 분석하였다. 열적 안정성은 열중량 분석(Thermogravimetric analysis)을 통해 시료의 열분해 온도 및 시점을 확인하였다. 분석된 수종은 국내 유용 수입 수종으로 멀바우(Merbau), 멤페닝(Mempening), 가로가로(Garo Garo), 말라스(Malas), 그리고 딜레니아(Dillenia)로 총 5수종을 선정하여 실험을 실시하였다. 열방출률 값은 말라스 > 멤페닝 > 가로가로 > 멀바우 > 딜레니아 순으로 확인되었다. 총 방출열량을 분석한 결과, 멤페닝 > 말라스 > 가로가로 > 멀바우 > 딜레니아 순으로 측정되었다. 가스분석 결과에서는 딜레니아가 $CO/CO_2$ 비율이 최대치로 0.034로 확인되었고, 멤페닝과 말라스가 0.020으로 최소치를 나타내었다. 중량감소율의 최솟값은 딜레니아가 74.79%로 나타났으며, 말라스가 83.52%로 CO와 $CO_2$의 발생과 목재 연소의 거동과의 상관관계를 나타내었다. 수종별 열분해 온도는 멀바우 $348.07^{\circ}C$, 멤페닝 $367.57^{\circ}C$, 가로가로 $350.59^{\circ}C$, 말라스 $352.41^{\circ}C$, 딜레니아 $364.33^{\circ}C$로 확인되었다.

In this study, for using effectively domestic (temperate) small and medium diameter logs as a wooden floorboard, cross-laminated wood panels were manufactured using domestic larch and tulip woods as a base material for teak and merbau wood flooring, and static bending strength performances were measured to investigate the applicability as the base materials of wooden flooring in place of plywood. Static bending MOE was much influenced by the strength performances of the top layer lamina than that of the laminae for base materials. Bending MOR showed the higher values in tulip wood that was hardwoods than in larch wood that was softwoods regardless of the strength performances of the top layer laminae, and it was found that the values were much influenced by the strength performances of the base materials used in the core and bottom layers. However these values were 1.4-2.5 times higher values than the bending strength of the wooden floorboards specified in KS, it was found that it can be sufficiently applied to the base materials of wooden floorboards in place of plywood.
