Abstract

In order to define the effects of thermal expansion and thermal decomposition on the destabilization of quenched wood, we measured the stress relaxation of steam-treated wood and oven-dried wood under control and quenching conditions, respectively. The degree of destabilization was evaluated by the fluidity (1-Et/E0) and its increase in relation to the control wood. The fluidity (1-Et/E0) of oven-dried wood clearly did not change after quenching. This meant that the reason for destabilization was not closely related with the thermal expansion of components. For steam-treated wood preheated below 120°C, the destabilization of the quenched sample was of the same degree as the control sample and was not related to the preheating time ; however, when the preheating temperature was over 120°C, the degree of destabilization for the quenched sample was reduced with increasing preheating time. At the same time, for steam-treated wood preheated over 120°C, the change in lignin content was slight while the holocellulose content was greatly reduced, so it was inferred that destabilization had a close relationship with the holocellulose content. Moreover, it was indicated that changes in the hygroscopicity of wood due to holocellulose reduction affected destabilization.
