From Wet to Preserved: Collecting Data of Waterlogged Wood Treated with PEG in Lanyan Museum and Study the Effect of Molecular Weight on Dimensional Stability
2025 - IRG/WP 25-11080
Waterlogged archaeological wood are most commonly unearthed in Yilan County, with over one-third originating from the Yilan Agricultural School site. This study aims to analyse the current state of conservation of waterlogged archaeological wood in Yilan County and hopes to properly alleviate the irreversible damage caused to the waterlogged archaeological wood after they leave the water layer. Ho...

Durability Analysis of Bio-based Phenol-Formaldehyde Resin-Treated Wood
2025 - IRG/WP 25-20753
The aim of this study is to explore the application of bio-based materials in outdoor construction. Enhancing the durability of wood products effectively extends their carbon storage lifespan, making it essential to investigate their long-term durability. The study used commercial resin (CPF) and laboratory-synthesised petro-based phenolic resin (LPF) as control groups. Japanese cedar specimens we...

Curing Behaviour of Bio-based Phenol Formaldehyde Resin and the Durability Performance of Treated Wood
2025 - IRG/WP 25-20758
The aim of the study is to investigate the curing behaviours of bio-based PF resins treated Japanese Cedar (Cryptomeria japonica). Compared to conventional wood preservatives such as metal-based ACQ, bio-based PF resin was more environmentally-friendly and can store more plant-based carbon inside treated wood. However, all these preservatives have the risk of being leached out. This study conducte...

Investigation of the Correlation between Blue-Light and Transparent Wood and Its Impact on Eye cells
2025 - IRG/WP 25-41042
The widespread use of LED blue light (400–480 nm) in modern life has raised concerns due to its potential risks to eye health, including retinal cell damage and vision degradation. Transparent wood, a renewable material with unique optical properties and environmental benefits, shows promising potential for blue light protection applications. This study investigates the modulation of lignin cont...

Investigation of Impregnation Factors for Biomass-Based Phenol-Formaldehyde Resins
2025 - IRG/WP 25-41044
This study investigates the impregnation factors affecting the treatment of wood with biomass-based phenol-formaldehyde (PF) resins, such as impregnation methods, resin properties, and setting parameters like time and pressure. The goal is to ensure effective resin penetration into the wood cell wall structure, thereby enhancing wood durability and mechanical properties. Previous literature has la...

Towards Sustainable Wood Protection: PF resins-impregnated Paper Honeycombs and the role of Processing Parameters analysis by Response Surface Methodology
2025 - IRG/WP 25-41045
Honeycomb paperboard is an important wood-derived product and also an emerging new material to combine with wood panels. It is commonly applied as cushioning materials with excellent mechanical performance, and high demands in packaging market. The aims of this study were to enhance the durability of honeycomb paperboard using PF resins of various molecular weights (Mw 200, Mw 500, Mw 700), partic...

Developing a Novel Bio-based PF Resin as Wood Preservative and Explore its Synthesis Route Using RSM Methodology
2025 - IRG/WP 25-41046
Phenol-formaldehyde (PF) resin treatment has long been recognized as one of the most effective and widely used wood preservation methods, offering exceptional durability, dimensional stability, and resistance against biological degradation. However, traditional PF synthesis relies heavily on petroleum-derived phenol, raising concerns about environmental impact and resource sustainability. To date,...
