Application of Liquefied Wood to a New Resin System—Synthesis and Properties of Liquefied Wood/Epoxy Resins
-
Masahiko Kobayashi
Summary
A new resin system was developed by reacting liquefied wood with various epoxy compounds. Examination of the optimum conditions for the synthesis of the resins, and the behavior of liquefied wood in the cured resins were undertaken. Generally, the compatibility and film forming performance of liquefied wood/epoxy resins became better as the wood content increased. The presence of only one broad dispersion peak, due to the glass transition, was observed during dynamic mechanical measurement of resin films suggesting that the different components of the resin were compatible. The glass transition temperature of the cured resins could be modified by changing the kinds of epoxy compounds and the wood contents of liquefied wood. The presence of rubber elasticity at higher temperatures suggests that the resin systems consisted of cross-linking polymer networks.
