The objective of this research was to investigate the possibility of using rice husk flour as a partial substitute for the wood particles used as the raw material for manufacturing particleboards, by examining the physical and mechanical properties of the rice husk flour-wood particleboard as a function of the type of urea-formaldehyde resin used. Commercial wood particles and two types of rice husk flours (A type (30 ㎛), B type (300 ㎛)) were used. E₁ and E₂ class urea-formaldehyde resin was used as the composite binder, combined with 10 wt.% NH₄Cl solution as a hardener. Rice husk flour-wood particleboards with dimensions of 27×27×0.7 (cm) were manufactured at a specific gravity of 0.7 with rice husk flour contents of 0, 5, 10, and 15 (wt.%). We examined the physical properties (specific gravity and moisture content), mechanical properties (three point bending strength and internal bonding) of the composite. In general, it can be concluded that composites made from rice husk flours are of somewhat poorer quality than those made from wood; however, blending in small amounts of rice husk flour (e.g., 5% to 10% by weight) may have no significant impact on quality.

프로필렌의 플라즈마 처리로 목분을 표면 개질하여 복합재 기지인 PP와 상용성을 가지게 하였다. 프로필렌을 플라즈마로 처리하여 증착된 소수성 박막 필름의 화학적 구조는 PP와 흡사하였다. 목분과 PP는 이축 압출기에 의해 펠렛으로 만들어 졌고 50 wt% wood powder/PP 복합재료는 사출 성형기에 의해 성형되었다. 인장강도와 굴곡 강도는 최고 7.59% and 12.43%까지 향상되었으며 파단면에 대한 SEM 관찰로 플라즈마 중합이 계면 접착력과 기계적 특성을 향상시킨 것을 볼 수 있었다.

An evaluation of bending test of composite I and Box beams for determining the ultimate strength limit design criteria was presented. Maxium loads of composite I beams were found in beams composed of thicker upper flanges and/or vertical LVL flanges. These loads of plywood web beams were greater than those of PB web beams. Maximum loads of unsymmetrical box beams were less than those of symmetrical box beams. Thus, it took on different phase in box type beams. Ultimate loads of composite beams were greater than those of solid. The failure of composite beams were abrupt and failure mode was classified into following categories; Edgewise shear failure in web, delamination in flange-web joint, tension failure and tearing in LVL flanges, and web delamination. These failures of composite beams were appeared at the mixed mode. The influence factor affecting the performance of tested composite beams was shear strength of PB-web composite beams and compressive strength in plywood-web composite beams. It was also assumed that the influence factors on structural performance on composite beams were flange quality, web material and geometry of cross section. As one of the design methods resisting to compressive stress that was required in the case of small span to depth ratio and deep beams. composite I-beams composed of thicker upper flanges comparing to lower flanges were very effective in structural performance.

본 연구에서는 HPC (hydroxypropyl cellulose)와 TEMPO 산화된 셀룰로오스 나노섬유(Tempo-oxidized cellulose nanofibrils, TOCN)가 보강된 복합필름을 제조하였다. 복합필름의 기계적, 열적 특성을 관찰하기 위해 인장강도 및 열중량 분석기(TGA)를 측정하였다. HPC/TOCN 복합필름에서 TOCN의 함량이 1 wt%에서 5 wt%까지 증가할수록 인장강도와 인장탄성계수는 직선적으로 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 그러나 TGA 분석 결과, TOCN의 함량에 관계없이 HPC/TOCN 복합필름의 열 안정성은 거의 차이가 없었다.

Numerical analysis for various design parameters should be preceded by optimal design of composite materials. Numerous studies have been conducted on the bolting of interconnecting beams. In this study, the response surface method was applied to optimize the design of bolted joints connected by laminated wood composite beams. The response surface was created by combining the FEA code for composite analysis and the algorithm for forming the response surface. Optimization on this response surface was performed with a genetic algorithm to derive the results. The determination of the optimum bolt-hole position for the connection of composite beams is an optimization problem. Tsai-Wu composite failure index, maximum deflection, and simple von Mises stress are set as the objective functions. It has been proved that the design results of the optimized bolt-hole are superior to the design performance of the existing conventional bolt-hole position.

상온 상압 플라즈마 표면처리된 목분을 폴리프로필렌(polypropylene)과 혼합하였을 때 두 재료의 계면에 미치는 영향을 연구하였다. 목분과 폴리프로필렌을 압출기를 통해 기계적으로 혼합한 후 사출기를 이용하여 목분함유량 50 wt% 목분/폴리프로필렌(Wood Plastic Composite, WPC) 복합재를 제조하였다. 플라즈마 표면처리 공정에 가장 적합한 Monomer(모노머)를 찾기 위해 Oxygen, Benzene, CH-4, Acrylic-acid, Hexafluoroethane, Trifluorotolune, Hexamethyl-disiloxane(HMDSO) 등 7가지의 모노머에 대해 Contact angle(접촉각)을 측정하여 표면에너지를 계산하였다. 그 결과 HMDSO가 가장 높은 표면에너지를 나타내어 플라즈마 공정의 모노머로 적용하였다. 소수성인 폴리프로필렌과 친수성인 목분을 플라즈마 표면처리를 통하여 목분의 표면을 개질하였고 두 재료의 계면 결합력을 향상시킬 수 있었다. 기계적 물성평가 결과는 인장강도의 경우 최대 7.59%, 굴곡강도의 경우 최대 12.43%가 증가하였다. SEM(Scanning Electron Microscope)을 이용하여 파단면을 관찰하였고 플라즈마 표면처리의 효과를 확인하였다.

Over the last decade, Sick Building Syndrome has become a significant social issue in Korea and many methods have been considered to maintain comfortable indoor air quality. To reduce toxic substances emitted from wood composite products, the source control is an efficient method through the reduction of formaldehyde content by using natural material-based adhesives for composite wood products production. Among alternative materials, soybean protein is considered an appropriate natural material to replace formaldehyde-based resin and many efforts have been made to produce new products, such as soap, shampoo, ink, resin, adhesive and textile through changing the chemical or physical properties of soybean. To process soybeans into these useful products, the beans are dehulled and the oil is removed by crushing at very high pressure or by solvent extraction. For use soybean as an adhesive, it is processed at temperatures below $70^{\circ}C$ to preserve the alkaline solubility of the proteins. In addition, soybean-based adhesive is undergone treatment process to improve mechanical properties using urea, urease inhibitor N-(n-butyl) thiophosphoric triamide and sodium dodecyl sulfate. The modified soybean-based adhesive exhibited sufficient mechanical properties to use as an adhesive for composite wood products. This paper is a review article to discuss the possibilities of soybean-based adhesive for environment-friendly furniture materials.

In Korea, there is a general lack of information available on air emissions from industry. The reasons for this include the lack of regulatory requirements for emission monitoring, limited information on specific industries, and difficulties in monitoring certain sources. This paper presents the first detailed air pollutant emission factors from composite wood product manufacturing in Korea. This study introduced emission factors for wood-based panels such as plywood, particle board (PB), and medium density fiberboard (MDF). The emission factors of particulate matters (PM) and hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) from MDF were higher than that from other wood products. The concentration of total volatile organic compounds (TVOCs) for hot press from wood-based panels was higher than drying or gluing processes. Emissions data from NPIP were compared to the data from the suggested emission factors in this study and the US EPA's. The data from our emission factors were closer to the observed results than the data using the US EPA's emission factor.

This research presents an improvement of the physical and mechanical properties of composite board (com-ply) made of Oriented Strand Board (OSB) coated with wood veneer of Pine (Pinus merkusii), Avocado (Persea Americana) and Mahogany (Swietenia mahogany). 1.5 mm thick veneers of those three wood types were adhered to the surface of OSB using two adhesive types: epoxy and isocyanate. The adhesive with the glue spread of $250g\;m^{-2}$ applied using single glue line was spread and then cold pressed with the pressure of $15kg\;cm^{-2}$ for 3 hours. The research result showed an improving dimension stability of com-ply, but not found on all parameters of physical property test. The moisture content seemed to be influenced by the com-ply type, yet not related to its thickness swelling, water absorption and linear expansion. The exception took place in the parallel linear expansion when immersed for 2 hours. The highest to the lowest increases of MOE and MOR were consecutively found on OSB coated with wood veneer of Pine, Mahogany and Avocado. However, the increases were statistically insignificant. The highest increasing screw hold power was found at the com-ply type AE (avocado veneer and epoxy adhesive) that was by 28%.
