Abstract

Effects of zycosil nanoparticles, with size range from 20 to 80 nm, on liquid and gas permeability of medium density fiberboard were studied. Nanozycosil was used at four consumption levels of 0, 50, 100, and 150 g/kg dry wood fibers. Density of all treatments was kept constant at 0.67 g/cm3. The obtained results indicated that addition of zycosil to the mat resulted in a significant increase in gas permeability due to the lower fiber-content in the nanozycosil-treated specimens and the consequent micro-cavities that were formed in the boards. However, the water-repellant property of zycosil nanoparticles compensated for the micro-cavities to some extent. High correlation was observed between gas and liquid permeability. The consumption level of 50 g of nanozycosil/kg can be recommended to improve the impermeability property of medium density fiberboard to water.

Einfluss von Nano-Zycosil auf die Gas- und Flüssigkeitsdurchlässigkeit mitteldichter Faserplatten Zusammenfassung

Untersucht wurde der Einfluss von Zycosil-Nanopartikeln mit einer Partikelgröße zwischen 20 und 80 nm auf die Flüssigkeits- und Gasdurchlässigkeit von mitteldichten Faserplatten. Nano-Zycosil wurde in den vier Dosierungen 0, 50, 100 und 150 g/kg Spantrockengewicht verwendet. Die Dichte wurde bei allen Behandlungen mit 0,67 g/cm³ konstant gehalten. Die Ergebnisse zeigten, dass durch Zugabe von Zycosil zum Spankuchen die Gaspermeabilität signifikant anstieg. Dies ist auf den niedrigeren Spananteil in den mit Nano-Zycosil behandelten Prüfkörpern sowie die dadurch in den Platten entstandenen Mikrohohlräume zurückzuführen. Die Mikrohohlräume wurden zum Teil durch die wasserabweisende Eigenschaft der Zycosil-Nanopartikel kompensiert. Die Gas- und die Flüssigkeitsdurchlässigkeit waren hoch korreliert. Zur Verbesserung der Wasserundurchlässigkeit mitteldichter Faserplatten können 50 g/kg Nano-Zycosil empfohlen werden.
