Abstract

In this study, the
effect of Bane tree resin on the physical and mechanical properties of poplar
wood was investigated. Wood samples were saturated by vacuum-pressure and
immersion methods with concentrations of 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, and 15%. Physical and
mechanical tests were done according to the related standards. The highest
weight gain and retention of preservative material in vacuume-pressure
treatment were 18.52% and 71.78 kg m-3 respectively at 15%
concentration. The results showed that the use of Bane resin reduced water
uptake and volumetric swelling of treated samples by 35 and 24.5% over 168 h
respectively in vacuum-pressure method. The compressive strength parallel to grain of the specimens treated with
vacuum-pressure method did not change significantly. The hardness resistances
of the samples saturated by vacuum-pressure method were increased by increasing
of concentration up to 3% and then by increasing the preservative material
concentration from 3 to 15% were reduced. Infrared spectroscopy results did not
show any difference between the spectrums of Bane resin saturated sample and
the control sample. Any new peak was not observed in infrared spectroscopy
spectrum that indicates the Bane resin has not changed the main structure of
the cell wall.
