Fast-grown wood generally contains a high proportion of juvenile wood that results in inferior dimensional stability and durability against biological deteriorations. In the present research, the Acacia mangium wood from plantation forests in Vietnam was treated with high temperature in air. The effects of heat treatment on physical properties of Acacia mangium wood, including mass loss (ML), water absorption (WA), water-repellent effectiveness (WRE) and anti-swelling efficiency (ASE) were examined. The results showed that the dimensional stability and the water-repellent effectiveness are increased by about 15-46% and 8-18%, respectively. However, the mass and dimension of wood are decreased. The results also indicated that both treatment temperature and treatment duration significantly affect the wood properties of Acacia mangium. It is thus concluded that heat treatment demonstrates an interesting potential to improve the wood quality of Acacia mangium for solid timber products. This technology provides an environmentally safe method of protecting sustainable common woods to give a new generation of value-added biomaterials with increased stability without the use of toxic chemicals.

천연물계의 유지를 목재에 처리하여 발수성능을 평가하였다. 시험에 사용한 유지는 아마인유, 피마자유, 올리브유, 콩기름, 들기름, 해바라기 씨 기름이다. 발수성 평가는 흡습성, 흡수성 시험과 접촉각 시험으로 하였다. 발수 처리한 목재를 빛과 수분에 의해 촉진열화 시킨 후에 열화정도를 색차계로 측정하였다. 촉진열화된 처리목재의 발수성능을 흡수성시험과 접촉각 시험을 통하여 비교 측정 하였다. 흡습성 시험결과, 흡습 초기에는 무처리에비하여 흡습량이 적으나 흡습처리 시간이 증가할수록 무처리의 흡습량에 가까워져 48시간 흡습처리 후에는 흡습비의 큰 차이는 없었다. 접촉각 시험의 결과, 처리재와 무처리재간의 결과가 큰 차이를 나타내었다. 유지의 농도와 종류에 따른 접촉각 변화는 흡습성 시험과 같이 큰 차이는 나타나지 않았다. 천연유지의 발수성능으로는 기상열화에 대한 안정성이 낮았다. 천연오일 단독처리만으로는 광열화에 대한 안정성을 기대하기 어려웠다.

Recently, the protection of construction is demanded with environmental pollution. These protect modes are use of concrete admixture, coat of protective polymer and impregnate of surface with chemicals etc. The most widely used impregnation is economical and effective. The define of Impregnation for construction protect is reacted in and consolidated substrate after absorbed. The impregnation agents are Polyesters, Acrylic monomers, Epoxy and Silicone derivatives. Commonly, because the Silane has good water repellency and environmental advantages that it widely used to water proofing agents, dampproofing agents and absorption reducer for concrete of bridges. When application of Silane, it occurs pollution and harmfulness as included organic solvent. The manufactures have tired to emulsification of Silane for the reducing of the defects. The Silane emulsion is vary unstable and does not stored long periods, and it is diminished in good properties with internal reaction. In this study we tried to emulsification of Silane for effectiveness improvement and reduce pollution and hazard and discussed properties variation of emulsion. The Silane emulsions are achieved emulsifying with W/O and O/W type surfactants. It used 0.24% PVA as protective colloid and stable phase is creamy. The creamy Silane emulsion performance as the penetration depth and water absorption rate are above 4 mm and below 0.1. It stable about 6 month at room temperature.

Eucalyptus oils are widely used as spices, perfume industrial materials, food flavorings, and medicines. Several types of Eucalyptus oils also have insecticidal activity and as carminative. This study investigated the chemical composition, insecticidal (larvicidal and repellent) activity of E. urophylla oil against filarial mosquito Culex quinquefasciatus. E. urophylla oil was obtained from fresh leaves by water-steam distillation with oil yield 1.08%. E. urophylla oil in this study had no color (clear), has odor (typical eucalyptus), with specific gravity 0.941; refractive index 1.465; miscibility in 70% ethanol 1 : 3; and optical rotation (-) $5.83^{\circ}$. The major compounds of the oil were ${\alpha}$-pinene (11.73%), 1,8-cineole (49.86%), ${\beta}$-ocimene (6.25%), ${\gamma}$-terpinene (9.11%), and ${\alpha}$-terpinyl acetate (7.63%). The result showed the excellent insecticide activity against C. quinquefasciatus. The oil provided larvicidal activity with $LC_{50}$: 80.21 ppm and $LC_{90}$: 210.18 ppm, and repellent activity with $IC_{50}$: 0.82% and $IC_{90}$: 4.88%. The present study showed the effectiveness of E. urophylla as natural insecticide against C. quinquefasciatus, the mosquito vector of filariasis.

The purpose of this study was to comparatively evaluate thermal and water transmission properties of several vapor permeable water repellent (VPWR) fabrics and synthetic battings that became available in recent years. Five VPWR fabrics evaluated were Hipora in three coating variants, $Gore-Tex^{\circledR}$ and $Aitace^{\circledR}$. Battings evaluated were $Viwarma^{\circledR}$, $Uniwarmr^{\circledR}$, $Thinsulate^{\circledR}$, and $Airseal^{\circledR}$ Thermal resistance and water vapor transmission were measured for each fabric and batting and in all combinations. Thermal resistance at zero and 37 cm/sec air velocity was determined by the Thermo Labo II technique for simultaneously measuring conduction and radiation heat transfer. Water vapor transmission over 24 hours was measured by a modified weight-gain method in a compact humid chamber at conditions simulating the clothing climate under heavy exercise ($40{\pm}1^{\circ}C$, $90{\pm}2\%$ R.H., and 0.5 m/sec air velocity). Fabric porosity was calculated from fiber density and fabric weight, thickness, and area. Thermal resistance results for the fabrics showed the effectiveness of coatings in inhibiting heat transfer. Measurements taken in wind were: $31.1\~37.6\%$ for $Hipora^{\circledR}$ variants; $31.0\%$ for $Gore-Tex^{\circledR}$; and $18.4\%$ for $Aitaca^{\circledR}$ Measurements without wind were higher but in the same order. Water vapor transmission results were in reverse order: $Aitac^{\circledR}$, $8.8 kg/m^{2};\;Gore-Tex^{\circledR}$, 6.4 kg/$m^{2}$; and $Hipora^{\circledR},\;4.4\~6.0\;kg/m^{2}$. In general thermal resistance increased with porosity. For battings, the thermal resistance with wind results were: $Viwarmu^{\circledR}$, $65.0\%;\; Thinsulate^{\circledR}$, $62.0\%$; $Uniwarm^{\circledR}$, $61.0\%$; and $Airseala^{\circledR},\;53.1\%$. Thermal resistance was proportional to thickness. Thermal resistance of fabric-batting combinations were $20\%$ higher than those of the battings only. Water vapor transmission for combinations was mainly affected by that for the VPWR fabric used.

본 실험은 건조되지 않은 목재를 고온의 아마인유에 침지처리함으로써 목재건조와 동시에 발수효과를 얻고자 실시하였다.함수율 90% 이상의 소나무생재를 온도 150℃의 아마인유에서 6시간 침지처리하였을 때 목재함수율은 10%까지 떨어졌으며, 목재 축방향의 깊이에 관계없이 목재단면의 20%에 해당하는 아마인유가 침투하였다. 이때 목재의 강도적 손실은 발생하지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 목재표면의 천공처리는 목재의 내부할열방지에 효과적이었고, 아마인유의 깊은 침투를 유도할 수 있었다. 흡수성 시험 결과 처리재는 무처리재에 비하여 높은 발수효과를 나타냈다. 변색균 및 부후균에 대한 항균효력시험은 처리재 자체로서 균에 대한 독성 기작이 없었으나, 백색부후균 및 갈색부후균에 대해서는 무처리재보다 낮은 중량감소율을 나타내는 등 방부효력의 상승이 있었다.

국내 목조문화재 흰개미 방제법 중 하나인 토양처리법에 적용되는 약제는 우천이나 지중의 수분 거동에 의해 방의 효력 저하가 진행되어 재처리가 요구되지만 현재 해당 기준 및 평가 방안은 전무한 실정이다. 이에 따라 약제의 방의 효력 평가 및 재처리 기간 산정을 위한 기초 실내 평가 방안을 제시하였다. 먼저 약제 방의력 평가를 위해 흰개미에 대한 기피성 및 접촉 독성을 실시하였다. 그 결과, 이번 실험에 사용된 약제는 비기피성이며, 접촉에 의한 사멸이 확인되었다. 이후 모의 강우 실험과 토양 관통 시험을 통해 토양 내 약제의 방의 효력 임계점을 산정하는 지속성 평가를 실시하였고 해당 자료를 기상 자료와 비교하여 재처리 기간을 산정하였다. 지속성 평가 결과, 약 160~170 mm 이상의 지속적인 수분 노출 이후에는 약제 처리 토양에 대한 흰개미의 천공이 확인되었다. 해당 결과를 최근 5년간 기상 자료와 비교한 결과, 본 실험에서 사용된 농도의 약제는 우리나라 장마철과 여름철 집중호우 기간이 지난 9월 이후 처리할 경우 약 1년 정도 방의 효력이 유지될 것으로 예상된다. 본 연구는 향후 국내 흰개미 방제를 위한 토양처리용 약제의 선정 매뉴얼 작성과 재처리 기간 산정을 위한 기초자료를 제공 할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
