Abstract
  • The effects of supercritical fluid (SCF) impregnation on physical properties of composites were investigated at various pressures, temperatures, and treatment times with carbon dioxide as the fluid and tebuconazole as a biocide. In general, within the ranges tested, SCF treatment had no negative effects on modulus of rupture (MOR), modulus of elasticity (MOE), or dimensional stability of particleboard, flakeboard, or medium-density fiberboard; in some instances, SCF treatment appeared to be associated with slight property improvements in some panel types. Shear tests of plywood suggested a similar lack of treatment effect. Results indicate that, despite the elevated pressure employed during the process, SCF impregnation does not adversely affect the mechanical properties of various wood-based composites.
