- Abstract
Study of Polymerised Merbau Extractives (PME) applications for modified wood products was carried out on oil palm wood. The tests of physical and mechanical properties were conducted using an Instron® UTM following the relevant standards. Thermal properties were investigated using differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) analysis representing the mechanical characteristic alterations of the treated wood. Allied treatment of impregnation and hot-compression (compregnation) using PME resin can improve the quality of oil palm wood into the strength class of III with an increase of density by 250% and hardness by 456.45%. The treatment also improved the dimensional stability of the samples due to decreasing thickness swelling by 73% in normal water temperature (23°C) and by 75 % in boiling water. Increasing temperature of glass transition (Tg) of compregnated palm wood resulted in the wood structure to be stronger. The thermogram also showed that crystal point of the control at the temperature of 324.49°C, lower than that of the compregnated samples (327.85°C). This explain why the compregnation treatment of the palm oil wood increases its strength. The compregnated lignocellulose material could be a potential material for furniture products.
