본 연구에서는 소나무(Pinus Densiflora)와 잣나무(Pinus Koraensis)에 대한 연소특성을 비교 평가하였다. 두 수종은 한옥의 부재로 널리 사용되고 있으며, 그 체적밀도는 소나무가 잣나무에 비하여 상대적으로 큰 값을 가지고 있다. 목재의 연소특성은 해당 수종의 체적밀도와 밀접한 관계를 갖고 있는데 본 연구에서 방염성능에 있어서는 뚜렷한 차이를 확인하기는 어려웠지만 콘칼로리미터 시험방법에 있어서는 총 방출열량, 평균 열방출률 비교를 통하여 목재 수종의 체적밀도의 상관성을 확인하였다. CO/$CO_2$의 비로부터 알 수 있는 연소가스의 유해성은 난연처리에 의해 높아진 것으로 나타났다.

This study investigates the relationship between ultrasonic velocity and density in the direct method, the effect of distance between transducers in the indirect method, and the difference between the direct and indirect methods with transducers placed at a distance of 200 mm in nondestructive ultrasonic testing of spruce lumber. The direct method using 54 kHz ultrasonic transducers was applied to two planes, namely, radial section (LR) and tangential section (LT) of samples. The indirect method measurements were taken using the same transducers. Two velocities were measured at the top and bottom of the LT plane and at the two sides of the LR plane; the two values for each plane were averaged. The relationship between density and ultrasound velocity in the direct method demonstrated a positive correlation between the two variables. The difference between the two planes, LT and LR, was not statistically significant. Moreover, the distance between the transducers in the indirect method affected ultrasound velocity, with the ultrasonic velocity increasing as the distance between the transducers became larger. A transducer distance of 200 mm yielded a close approximation of the direct method results with a ratio of 0.87. Finally, no statistical evidence of a difference between the two planes in the indirect method was found. If the direct method, which requires access to two surfaces, is impractical, the indirect method can be applied.

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.

In an effort to evaluate the qualities of the unused woods designed for art materials, Yellow pine, Pitch pine, Suwon poplar, Platanus and Cherry grown in Korea has been investigated in the study. Physical and mechanical properties such as density, hardness, roughness, and abrasion of the woods were examined. Among the five species, Cherry wood showed the highest density in green, air-dried and oven-dried conditions. Hardness of Cherry wood was higher than those of Suwon poplar and Platanus. In softwoods, Pitch pine showed greater hardness than Yellow pine. Yellow pine and Platanus had the highest values of wood surface roughness. Abrasion value of cross, radial and tangential sections was the highest in Yellow pine and Suwon poplar. It has been concluded from the experiment that physical and mechanical properties such as density, hardness, roughness, and abrasion of the woods can be used as an indicator of the suitability for woodcraft material.

This study was performed to evaluate the burning characteristics of wood-based materials and the effect of surface treatment of fire retardant using cone calorimeter. Four types of wood-based materials, such as Plywood, Oriented Strand Board (OSB), Particle Board (PB) and Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF), were tested at a constant heat flux of $50kW/m^2$ to investigate the time to ignition, mass loss rate, heat release rate, effective heat of combustion, etc. In addition, each type of wood-based material was tested at the same heat flux after fire retardant treatment on the surface to evaluate the effect of this treatment on the burning characteristics. The surface treatment of fire retardant, by the amount of $110g/m^2$, delayed the time to ignition almost twice. However, it was indicated that heat release rate, mass loss rate, and effective heat of combustion were not significantly affected by fire retardants treatment for all types of wood-based materials.

The purpose of this research is to determine the efficiency of impregnation using phenol formaldehyde resin to enhance Falcataria wood's stability and better mechanical properties. Impregnation process was carried out after moisture content stabilized at 12% on samples with a dimension of 20 mm × 20 mm × 300 mm at various concentrations and pressure time. Dimensional stability was evaluated by thickness swelling (TS) and anti-swelling efficiency (ASE) and the young's modulus was conducted according to BS 573. The mechanical properties and dimensional stability of impregnated wood were evaluated. Dimensional stability and mechanical properties of Falcataria wood were successfully increased after impregnation. PF impregnation can improve the mechanical properties and the density from 0.26 g/㎤ to 0.30 g/㎤ even with only 10% of weight percent grain. Dimensional stability increases with increasing resin concentration and time pressure. The highest increase in mechanical properties was found at a higher concentration of PF. The penetration of PF into the wood's cell darkens the color of impregnated wood.

Western redcedar timber, 26 by 26cm in cross section and by 200cm long, was dried in a laboratory radio-frequency/vacuum kiln under 65torr of ambient pressure and a fixed frequency of 6.78MHz for the potential rapidly dry large timber. All process data were collected and saved in a computer through a data acquisition system. The temperature in the middle of timber was higher than temperature at the quarter point of timber length and thickness. Temperature gradients developed in the longitudinal and transverse direction of timber. The pressure in the middle of timber was higher than pressure at the quarter point of timber length. The pressure in the middle of timber was lower in the early stage of drying, and higher in the latter stage of drying than pressure at the quarter point of timber thickness. Power density was very highest during heating period and then gradually decreased. The drying curve was approximately linear and the total drying time was 27 hours from an initial moisture content(MC) of 48.6 percent to a final Me of 19.2 percent with only a few mild internal checks in the middle location of timber.

집성재의 생산성 향상을 위한 고주파 가열 경화기술에 대해 연구하였다. 고주파가 유전체에 가해지면 내부에서 에너지 손실에 의한 발열이 발생한다. 집성재를 구성하는 라미나와 접착제는 유전체이므로 집성재에 고주파를 주사하면 내부에서 발열이 발생한다. 집성재 제조에 이용되는 대부분의 상온 경화형 접착제는 고온에서 빠른 경화가 이루어지므로 고주파 가열 기술을 이용하면 집성재 내부 접착층의 온도를 상승시킴으로써 빠른 경화를 유도할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 낙엽송재와 phenol-resorcinol-formaldehyde (PRF) 접착제의 유전 특성을 평가하고, 집성재 내부의 접착층의 빠른 경화를 유도하는 고주파 가열 경화 기작을 이론적으로 분석하였다. 연구 결과, 온도상승인자인 PRF 접착제의 상대손실계수가 낙엽송재의 상대손실계수에 비해 높았으나, 온도상승저해인자인 밀도와 비열도 높았다. 그러나 상대손실계수의 비율이 온도상승저해인자의 비율보다 높기 때문에 고주파 가열에 의한 발열량은 접착제에서 더 높을 것으로 예상된다. 이러한 실험 결과를 이용한 이론적 접근을 바탕으로, 접착층이 목표온도까지 상승하기 위한 ISM 영역의 고주파 주파수 별 전기장의 상대 세기를 추정하였다.

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.

목질 판상재료 생산을 위하여 현재 주로 사용되고 있는 석유화학계 접착제를 대체하여 재생가능한 원료로부터 대체 접착제를 개발하기 위한 관심이 증대하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 바이오 디젤 부산물인 유채박을 산 및 알칼리 가수분해를 통해 접착제를 제조하고, 이 접착제를 중밀도섬유판(MDF) 제조에 적용한 후 물성과 강도 특성을 조사하여 유채박의 중밀도 섬유판 제조용 접착제에 대한 가능성을 확인하고자 하였다. 먼저 유채박 접착제 조제를 위하여 유채박을 산과 알칼리 가수분해를 통해 개량한 다음, phenol formaldehyde (PF) prepolymer 와 혼합하여 접착제를 제조하고 이를 중밀도 섬유판 제조용 접착제로 사용하였다. 제조된 중밀도 섬유판의 평균 함수율과 밀도는 모두 KS의 기준을 만족시키는 것으로 나타났으며, 흡수 두께 팽창률은 다소 높게 나타났다. 중밀도 섬유판의 휨강도는 요소수지 접착제로 제조한 중밀도 섬유판보다 낮은 것으로 나타났지만 박리강도는 일부 조건에서 요소수지 접착제로 제조한 중밀도 섬유판보다 높게 나타나 석유화학계 접착제의 대체 접착제로의 가능성을 보여주었다. 접착성능의 향상을 위해서는 최적화되는 중밀도 섬유판의 제조공정의 변수에 대한 추가 연구가 필요할 것으로 생각된다.
