Abstract

This research investigates the composites reinforced with fiberglass to wood and commercial particleboard using VARTM process to enhance the mechanical properties. Specimens were prepared from lumbers from thinning crop-trees and commercial particleboard. Matched specimen were reinforced on both sides with one layer of unidirectional fiberglass roving. Fiberglass reinforcement to wood and particleboard using VARTM process improved mechanical properties.

본 연구는 목재 및 파티클보드의 기계적 성질들을 향상시키기 위해 유리섬유를 VARTM 방법에 의해 보강한 복합소재에 대해 조사하였다. 시편들은 상업용 파티클보드 및 간벌소경재로 생산된 목재로 제작하였다. 시편들은 대조구(control)와 유리섬유로 보강된 목재/파티클보드 사이의 변이를 줄이기 위해 제재목과 파티클보드를 각각 길이 방향으로 둘로 잘라 한쪽은 대조구 시편으로 사용했고, 다른 한쪽은 한 층의 단축방향으로 짠 유리섬유 조방사로 시편의 양면을 보강하였다. 목재 및 파티클보드를 VARTM 방법에 의해 유리섬유로 보강한 복합소재는 기계적인 성질들이 크게 향상되었다.
