Abstract
The effect of drilling on the permeability of Japanese cedar and the bending properties of resin treated compressed wood were examined. Compressed wood was manufactured by impregnating aqueous phenolic resin solutions into the heartwood through drilled holes and polymerizing the impregnated resins using a hot press to maintain the deformation. The compressive deformation was carried out at 150°C for 1 h to one-half of the original specimen thickness. A dye solution permeated the entire specimen when the density of drilled holes exceeded approximately 5000 holes/m2. When the compressed wood was manufactured under the drilling condition, the resin type was found to greatly affect the bending strength and the failure mode of the specimens in bending test.
Zusammenfassung
Der Einfluss gebohrter Löcher auf die Permeabilität von japanischer Zeder und die Biegeeigenschaften von mit Harz imprägniertem Pressholz wurden untersucht. Das Pressholz wurde hergestellt, indem wässrige Phenolharzlösungen über gebohrte Löcher in das Kernholz eingebracht und mittels Heißpressung polymerisiert wurden, um die Verformung zu stabilisieren. Das Holz wurde bei 150°C für die Dauer einer Stunde auf die Hälfte der ursprünglichen Prüfkörperdicke gepresst. Mittels einer gefärbten Lösung wurde gezeigt, dass der Prüfkörper ab einer Lochdichte von mindestens 5000 Löchern/m2 vollständig imprägniert war. Bei so hergestelltem Pressholz hatte der Harztyp einen großen Einfluss auf die Biegefestigkeit und das Bruchbild des Prüfkörpers im Biegeversuch.
