Vliv tepelné modifikace na vybrané vlastnosti bukového dřeva tlakově impregnovaného přírodními oleji
Daněk, Václav
Present study aims to analyze thermal modification of beech wood (Fagus sylvatica L.) press-impregnated by natural oil and its influence on physical and mechanical properties of wood. Beech wood was press-impregnated by hemp oil (O 1000) and thermally modified at 200°C for 3 hours. Influence of certain treatment (i.e. oil impregnation, thermal modification, combination) was experimentally investigated using physical and mechanical tests. Color changes (CIELab system), dimensional stability and bending strength were experimentally measured and results compared with reference group. Results of given work was further discussed and compared with literature. Results shows increase of dimensional stability about 18% after thermal modification (TM) and 22% for oil impregnated and thermally modified wood (OL+TM). Mechanical performance (bending strength) decreased about 5,2% after thermal modification as a results of degradation of wood cell wall. On the other hand, strength increase about 9% for wood impregnated by oils. Combined processed provide results within similar range as reference. Results should be further discussed and parameters of process (temperature levels) as well as influence of various oils parameters (drying, semi-drying, nondrying) tested in future.
