Thermal degradation of bending strength of plywood and oriented strand board: a kinetics approach

The construction industry has relied heavily on wood and wood-based composites, such as oriented strand board (OSB) and plywood for timber frame construction. Therefore, it is highly imperative to categorize the response of wood-based composites when exposed to elevated temperatures for a sustained period of time. The essence of fire-resistant structural design is to ensure that structural integrity be maintained during and after the fire, prevent collapse and maintain means of egress. Another aspect is to assess post-fire structural integrity and residual strength of existing structure. The objective of this project was (a) to study the effect of exposure time on bending strength (MOR) of OSB and plywood at elevated temperatures, (b) to interpret any relationships between different temperature and time of exposure using a kinetics model for thermal degradation of strength, and (c) to develop a master curve representing temporal behavior of OSB and plywood at a reference temperature. As much as 1,152 samples were tested in static bending as a function of exposure time and several temperatures. Strength (MOR) of both OSB and plywood decreased as a function of temperature and exposure time. These results were fit to a simple kinetics model, based on the assumption of degradation kinetics following an Arrhenius activation energy model. The apparent activation energies for thermal degradation of strength were 54.1 kJ/mol for OSB and 62.8 kJ/mol for plywood. Furthermore, using the kinetics analysis along with time–temperature superposition, a master curve was generated at a reference temperature of 150°C which predicts degradation of strength with time on exposure at that reference temperature. The master curves show that although plywood has a higher initial strength, OSB performs better in terms of strength degradation after exposure to elevated temperature.

为获得无甲醛释放的环保胶合板,将热塑性树脂薄膜(低密度聚乙烯(LLDPE)、聚丙烯(PP)、聚氯乙烯(PVC))用作胶黏剂,并利用空气介质阻挡等离子体对热塑性树脂薄膜进行表面改性处理以提高薄膜与杨木单板的界面相容性,从而获得性能良好的环保胶合板。研究了等离子体处理对胶合板胶合性能的影响,并从等离子体处理对热塑性树脂薄膜表面化学组分及其对胶合板界面形貌的影响分析其胶合机理。结果表明:在等离子体处理功率为4.5 kW、处理时间为8 m/min的条件下处理热塑性树脂薄膜,胶合板的胶合强度得到显著提高,LLDPE/杨木胶合板的胶合强度从0.49 MPa增至0.81 MPa,PP/杨木胶合板的胶合强度从0.65 MPa提高到0.84 MPa,均达到Ⅱ类胶合板标准要求。其中用等离子体处理后PVC与杨木制备的胶合板能满足Ⅰ类胶合板的标准要求,胶合强度达到0.79 MPa。XPS分析表明,等离子体改性热塑性树脂薄膜的表面发生了氧化反应,引入了含氧官能团,提高了薄膜表面极性,有利于提高薄膜与杨木单板之间的相互作用,从而使得胶合板的界面胶合更为紧密,说明等离子体处理后树脂与杨木单板的相容性提高,树脂能在单板表面更好地附着。热塑性树脂薄膜与杨木单板制备的胶合板仅有极微量甲醛释放,其主要源于木材自身,远低于国家标准对人造板甲醛释放限量的要求。研究证明等离子体处理能明显改善热塑性树脂薄膜与杨木单板的界面相容性。     

Effects of fire-retardant treatment and wood grain on three-dimensional changes of sandwich panels made from bubinga decorative veneer

ABSTRACT

The effects of a fire-retardant treatment (FRT) and wood grain on three-dimensional changes of aircraft sandwich panels were evaluated. Unvarnished and varnished panels having the outer decorative layer made with bubinga (Guibourtia spp.) were studied. Half of the samples from each type of panel received an FRT (phosphate-based) on all three layers of the decorative plywood. The other half had the two inner layers treated and the outer layer untreated. Three different figures formed by the rotary cutting and grain orientation were identified and separately studied on veneer surfaces. Samples pre-conditioned to 20°C and 40% relative humidity (RH) underwent an adsorption (25°C, 90% RH) and then a desorption (25°C, 40% RH) treatments. Changes in moisture content (MC), swelling, shrinkage, roughness, and waviness were measured after each moisture exposure condition. The results showed that the FRT increased significantly MC, swelling, and shrinkage of unvarnished and varnished panels. This treatment as well as the type of wood figure affected roughness and waviness variations of unvarnished panels. However, the effects of these two factors were not noticeable once panels were varnished.     

The effect of elevated temperature exposure on the fracture toughness of solid wood and structural wood composites

Fracture toughness of wood and wood composites has traditionally been characterized by a stress intensity factor, an initiation strain energy release rate (G _init) or a total energy to fracture (G _f). These parameters provide incomplete fracture characterization for these materials because the toughness changes as the crack propagates. Thus, for materials such as wood, oriented strand board (OSB), plywood and laminated veneer lumber (LVL), it is essential to characterize the fracture properties during crack propagation by measuring a full crack resistant or R curve. This study used energy methods during crack propagation to measure full R curves and then compared the fracture properties of wood and various wood-based composites such as, OSB, LVL and plywood. The effect of exposure to elevated temperature on fracture properties of these materials was also studied. The steady-state energy release rate (G _SS) of wood was lower than that of wood composites such as LVL, plywood and OSB. The resin in wood composites provides them with a higher fracture toughness compared to solid lumber. Depending upon the internal structure of the material, the mode of failure also varied. With exposure to elevated temperatures, G _SS for all materials decreased while the failure mode remained the same. The scatter associated with conventional bond strength tests, such as internal bond and bond classification tests, renders any statistical comparison using those tests difficult. In contrast, fracture tests with R curve analysis may provide an improved tool for characterization of bond quality in wood composites.

Manufacture of plywood bonded with kenaf core powder

Kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus L.) core powder was used as a binder to manufacture three-ply plywoods of sugi (Cryptomeria japonica D. Don) by conventional hot pressing under various manufacturing conditions: hot-pressing conditions (pressure, temperature, and time) and powder conditions (grain size, spread volume, and moisture content). The adhesive shear strength and wood failure of plywoods were measured in accordance with the Japanese Agricultural Standard (JAS) for plywood. The result showed that fine kenaf core powder played a role as an effective binder when plywoods were pressed at high pressure, which caused extreme compression of veneer cells. In addition, the adhesive shear strength of plywoods in dry conditions was high regardless of pressing temperature and time, but it was sensitive to pressing temperature and time in wet conditions. The highest adhesive shear strength was obtained from plywoods manufactured with kenaf core powder (grain size 10 μm, spread volume 200 g/m², moisture content 8.6%) under hot-pressing conditions (pressure 5.0 MPa using distance bars 4 mm thick, temperature 200°C, time 20–30 min). However, the plywood could not meet the requirement for the second grade of plywood by JAS because of its low water-resistance properties.

Prediction of the optimum veneer drying temperature for good bonding in plywood manufacturing by means of artificial neural network

Veneer drying is one of the most important stages in the manufacturing of veneer-based composites such as plywood and laminated veneer lumber. Due to the high drying costs, increased temperatures are being used commonly in plywood industry to reduce the overall drying time and increase capacity. However, high drying temperatures can alter some physical, mechanical and chemical characteristics of wood and cause some drying-related defects. In this study, it was attempted to predict the optimum drying temperature for beech and spruce veneers via artificial neural network modeling for optimum bonding. Therefore, bonding shear strength values of plywood panels manufactured from beech and spruce veneers dried at temperatures of 20, 110, 150 and 180 °C were obtained experimentally. Then, the intermediate bond strength values based on veneer drying temperatures were predicted by artificial neural network modeling, and the values not measured experimentally were evaluated. The optimum drying temperature values that yielded the highest bonding strength were obtained as 169 °C for urea formaldehyde and 125 °C for phenol formaldehyde adhesive in beech plywood panels, while 162 °C for urea formaldehyde and 151 °C for phenol formaldehyde in spruce plywood panels.

Toxicity index and the time taken to incapacitate mice under combustion gases of burning wooden materials

The purpose of this study was to investigate the toxicity of combustion gases from burning wooden materials. The toxicant index and mice exposure experiment were used to evaluate the toxicity index. The time taken to incapacitate mice under the impact of burning 19 solid wood species and 7 kinds of plywood were investigated. The results showed that the toxicity index of burning solid wood ranged from 1.5 to 2.5, and its main toxicant was CO₂. The toxicant index of burning plywood was higher, ranging from 3.0 to 6.0, and its main toxicity was NO_x. A good correlation was observed between the time taken to incapacitate mice (Xs) and the weight loss rate of burning solid wood. When the concentration of CO was higher than 1% in the exposure chamber, the mice stopped their activity within 2min. The time taken to incapacitate mice (Xs) and the minimum concentration of O₂ in the exposure chamber could be represented by a positive linear regression formula. The concentrations of O₂ and CO₂ exhibited a positive effect and the concentration of CO had a negative effect on the Xs values of mice.Part of this paper was presented at the 52nd Annual Meeting of the Japan Wood Research Society, Gifu, April 2002
