This research was performed to evaluate surface performance of gold plated carbonized board. After the carbonization at $850^{\circ}C$, volume, weight, and density decreased by 65.25%, 71.35% and 17.64%, respectively. Abrasion resistance and surface hardness of non-carbonized board exhibited the highest values of 0.093 g/100 revolution and 26.43 N/$mm^2$, respectively. Gold plated carbonized board showed intermediate values, 0.587 g/100 revolution of abrasion resistance and 24.35 N/$mm^2$ of surface hardness. Carbonized board showed the lowest values, 0.863 g of abrasion resistance and 21.50 N/$mm^2$, of surface hardness. These results were thought to reflect propertional relationship between abrasion resistance and surface hardness. Abrasion resistance and surface hardness of carbonized board appeared able to be improved by surface treatment such as plating.

This study examined the characteristics of radio-frequency/vacuum dried Korean red pine ($Pinus$ $densoflora$) heavy timbers with 250 ${\times}$ 250 mm (S), 300 ${\times}$ 300 mm (L) in cross section and 300 mm in diameter, and 3,600 mm in length, which were subjected to compressive loading after a kerf pretreatment. The following results were obtained : The drying time was short and the drying rate was high in spite of the large cross section of specimens. The moisture gradient inall specimens was gentle in both longitudinal and transverse directions owing to dielectric heating. The shrinkage of the width in the direction perpendicular to was 21 percent ~ 76 percent of that of the thickness of square timbers in the direction parallel to the mechanical pressure. The casehardening for all specimens was very slight because of significantly reduced ratio of the tangential to radial shrinkage of specimens and kerfing. The surface checks somewhat severely occurred although the occurrence extent of the surface checks on the kerfed specimens was slight compared withthat on the control specimen.

An experiment was conducted to know the safranine impregnation distance from surface to inward using 6 different hardwood species. During impregnation, 3 parameters were applied-vacuum, pressure and soaking time. Only vacuum treatment did not increase the permeability of wood. Vacuum followed by pressure increased the penetration depth of safranine in radial, tangential and longitudinal direction. Longitudinal penetration was found easy to impregnate. Comparing with radial and tangential direction, radial penetration was found easy. There was a striking difference among sapwood and heartwood permeability. Safranine input depth was found highest in diffused porous wood rather than in ring porous wood. At increased vacuum and pressure, safranine penetration was found easy.

Stone board for the rock bed was needed to reduce weight using thin thickness and reinforced materials. In this work, stone/wood board for rock bed was studied. Stone and wood were attached to reduce total weight of stone for rock bed. For reinforcing wood heat treatment method was used to change surface and mechanical properties. Mechanical strength of heat treated wood increased more than neat condition. The optimum heat treatment condition was set on $100^{\circ}C$ under tensile, flexural loads whereas surface energy was also obtained by contact angle measurement. Optimum adhesive condition was to get the maximum adhesion between stone and wood. Lap shear test was performed for stone/wood board with different adhesives such as amine type epoxy, polyurethane, chloro-rubber and vinyl chloride acetate type. Fracture surface of lap shear test was shown at wood fracture part on stone using amine type epoxy adhesive. It was found that for high adhesion between stone and wood the optimum adhesive was epoxy type for the rock bed.

The effect of ratio between chemical activating agent and raw material in the preparation of activated carbons from wood has been studied. Pinus koraiensis wood and zinc chloride ($ZnCl_2$) were used for materials in this study. Mixtures of wood and zinc chloride were heated under nitrogen flow in the temperature ranging from room-temperature to $600^{\circ}C$ for 1 hr using thermogravimetric technique. During heat treatment, activated carbons with various pore size and specific surface properties were obtained. The maximum BET surface area and total pore volume were $1468m^2/g$ and 1.74 cc/g, respectively, at the mixture ratio of 1 (wood powder) to 5 ($ZnCl_2$). It can be concluded that the differences in the properties of the activated carbons were related significantly with the ratio of chemical activating regent.

XRF, EDX, IR analysis was conducted to figure the effect of Fe to blacken the waterlogged wood. The results showed that investigated soil contained more Fe than normal soil by XRF analysis and wood ash contained more sulfur and Fe than any other element by EDX analysis. C-H and C-O peaks were significantly reduced at the surface of wood where is blackened part of waterlogged wood by IR analysis. The optimum condition to remove Fe from waterlogged wood by EDTA was investigated. To do this, removed concentration of Fe was measured at various concentration of EDTA-2Na. The optimum pH of EDTA-2Na was figured to be 4.1 to 4.3 and as the concentration of EDTA was increasing, extracted concentration of Fe was also increased. In the case of 0.4 wt% of EDTA-2Na, 700ppm of Fe was eliminated and was stabilized after 48 hours time lapse. In the case of EDTA-3Na, the optimum pH was 7 to 8, and 10 ppm of Fe was eliminated at 0.4 wt% of EDTA-3Na. In the case of EDTA-4Na, the optimum pH was 10 to 11, and 120 ppm of Fe was eliminated at 0.4 wt% of EDTA-4Na.

This study examined the effects of the drying rate, temperature distribution and vapor pressure on the surface checks occurring during the air circulating oven-drying of hollowed short Japanese larch (Larix Kaemferi C.) round posts treated with coating (CO) and vapor-dam (VD). The hollowed round posts could be dried from the green condition to a moisture content of approximately 8% in 72 to 144 hours. The temperature in the hole was higher than that inside of wood for Control and VD specimens, while VD specimen showed opposite distribution. The vapor pressure inside the wood was higher than that in the hole for the CO and VD specimens during hole drying stage. There were few surface checks found in the specimens but the number increased in order the of CO, VD and Control specimens.

This study was carried out to investigate the influence of paper stock type and heat treatment on sizing effect. Various types of pulps were used to make handsheets sized internally with AKD(alkyl ketene dimer) and externally with CMC(carboxyl methyl cellulose). Most of the handsheets were treated with heat by dry oven $(100^{\circ}C,\;30min)$ to evaluate the effect of heat treatment on sizing development. Internal sizing development of newsprint was very bad, but the effect of heat treatment was much higher than those of NBKP, BCTMP. In case of surface sizing, newsprint was more effective compared to the other pulps. Considering above mentioned results, it seems that internal sizing slows down water into paper by molecular diffusion much more than capillary penetration, but surface sizing slows down capillary penetration. With regard to density, a higher thickness sheets showed high heat treatment effect on sizing, therefore it assumed that heat treatment effect on sizing had very close relationship with sheet density.

In designing furniture and interior accessories, a computer graphic program is normally used over the whole process of manufacturing furniture from idea stage to actual manufacturing stage. It especially play an important role in the modeling process which comes before actual manufacturing stage. in such modeling process, the most important part is expression of quality of material used and surface treatment method. Expression of material quality of wood and surface finishing just like an actual picture enable the designers to analogize the feeling of furniture and interior accessories more exactly over the whole process of actual manufacturing and such a result has positive effect on development field of furniture and accessories.

Heating and Steaming treatments were carried for deresinning and color change of radiata pine juvenile wood. The boards of 20 mm and 30 mm thicknesses were heat-treated at $150^{\circ}C$ and $220^{\circ}C$ for 2, 4 and 6 hours and steamed at $100^{\circ}C$ for 6, 24 and 48 hours. For extracting residual resin in treated boards and measuring wood surface color, alcohol-benzene solution and a portable colorimeter were used, respectively. The board of 20 mm thickness were deresined effectively by heating at over $150^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours or steaming for 6 hours while that of 30 mm thickness by steaming for 48 hours. For the board of 30 mm thickness treatment time was more influencing on deresinning than treatment temperature. The steamed boards showed higher $L^*$ than the heat-treated for both thicknesses. $L^*$ decreased with the increase of treatment temperature and time, but for the board heat-treated at $220^{\circ}C$ it didn't change after 4 hours. The surface color of the boards heat-treated at $220^{\circ}C$ for 4 and 6 hours were obviously changed, but those at $150^{\circ}C$ were not. It was revealed that the core of the heat-treated board was color changed as well as the surface.
