Flow Behavior of Wood Treated with Melamine Formaldehyde Resin under Non-Equilibrium Thermal-Compression

Article Preview

Abstract:

A uni-axial compression test of solid wood containing a melamine formaldehyde resin and moisture at a heating condition was carried out to investigate fluidity of solid wood aiming at application of wood-flow-forming with an acceptable pressure level. Results show that there is a preferable moisture condition for initiation of flow phenomenon of the resin-treated wood. Since the decrease in the flow stress of wood generating pronounced size change in the drying process was distinguished, there might be a positive effect of the non-equilibrium state in moisture on the ease in generation of flow deformation.
