Effect of Technology Factors on the Resin Impregnation Results of Poplar

Abstract:

Aimed to improve the properties of Poplar, this study, taking phenol-formaldehyde resin (PF) and urea-formaldehyde resin (UF) as impregnation resin, probed the effect of the technology factors-vacuum time, solid content of resin, impregnation temperature and time on the impregnation results of Poplar, and the relationship between the resin and the wood was researched through infrared spectrum. The weight percent gain (WPG) of test-pieces increased with vacuum time extending, and WPG of the test-pieces were greatest when the solid content of resin was 30%, and the impregnation temperature was 25-30°C. when the impregnation time extended from 3 h to 9 h, WPG of the test-pieces presented increase trend which wasnt obvious. In this wood impregnated resin, the reaction between the resin and the hydroxy in wood formed ether bond binding, which proved that the resin and the wood occurred the chemical reaction.
