The effect of press time on springback and water absorption of acetylated particleboard
2012 - IRG/WP 12-40579
In this study the effect of press time on springback, thickness swelling and water absorption was investigated. After 24 hours soaking in acetic anhydride, in order to achieving WPG 17%, acetylated particles were heated in an oven at 120 0C for 360 minutes. Acetylated and nonacetylated (control) particleboards were produced with 10% melamine urea formaldehyde (based on the oven-dry weight of part...

The effect of nanozycosil on the water absorption and dimensional stability of Beech wood
2012 - IRG/WP 12-40606
Zycosil is a clear penetrating water repellent. This product works by penetrating into the substrate and modifying the surface tension to inhibit water intrusion. Beech wood (Fagus orientalis) was modified by treatment with nanozycosil. Then water absorption and dimensional stability in terms of volumetric swelling percent and anti-swelling efficiency were determined and found to be improved on t...

Effects of fungal exposure on air and liquid permeability of nanosilver- and nanozincoxide-impregnated Paulownia wood
2016 - IRG/WP 16-30680
Effects of aqueous dispersion of silver and zinc-oxide nano-particles on air and liquid permeability of Paulownia wood exposed to T. versicolor were studied in the present research project. Specimens were also heat-treated at 100 and 150°C and compared with the control specimens. Permeability values were measured when the moisture content of the specimens was 12%. Results showed significant incre...
