Abstract

Summary To clarify tangential and radial dimensional changes in hinoki (Chamaecyparis obtusa) wood by ten kinds of treatments and successive water soaking, a vector expression on the tangential-radial coordinates was proposed and a new measure (ASE′) to evaluate the dimensional stability of wood was defined. The ASE′ is expressed by 100(1 − Vs′ /Vu ) where Vu is the volumetric swelling coefficient of untreated wood and Vs′ is that of treated wood calculated on the basis of its oven-dried volume before treatment. The results from formaldehyde treated, heat treated and steam treated wood showed large positive ASE′ values and the ratio of radial swelling to tangential swelling (swelling anisotropy) of these treated woods decreased with increasing weight percent gain or weight loss. The results from acetylated wood, wood impregnated with polyethylene glycol and wood treated with a low molecular weight phenol-formaldehyde resin showed either small positive or negative ASE′ values, and those of wood treated with propylene oxide showed large negative values. The swelling anisotropy of treated woods accompanied by cell wall bulking was larger than that of untreated wood. The swelling anisotropy decreased when the cell lumen was filled with a hydrophobic resin (WPC-MMA), and increased when the cell lumen was filled with a hydrophilic resin (WPC-HEMA).
