Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of gamma radiation on cell wall degradation, cellulose crystallinity, and flexural strength of Pinus densiflrora, Zelkova serrenata, and Paulownia tomentosa. By the gamma radiation at the dose up to 100 kGy, the cell wall degradation was not detected with scanning electron microscope (SEM) observation from all samples, and the flexural strength was not significantly changed. Cellulose crystallinity was neither changed by the gamma radiation. This high stability of wood against gamma radiation means that the radiation technology can be used for eradicating fungal and insect infestation of wood without the changes in wood properties.

본 연구는 감마선 조사가 소나무(Pinus densiflrora), 느티나무(Zelkovas serrenata), 오동나무(Paulownia tomentosa)의 세포벽 열화, 셀룰로오스 결정화도, 휨 강도에 미치는 영향을 구명하기 위해 수행되었다. 각 목재 시편들을 100 kGy 선량의 감마선 조사 후 주사전자현미경(scanning electron microscope; SEM) 관찰 결과, 목재 세포벽 열화는 관찰되지 않았으며 휨 강도 역시 현저한 변화가 나타나지 않았다. 감마선 조사에 의한 셀룰로오스 결정화도 역시 유의한 변화가 관찰되지 않았다. 이러한 감마선에 대한 목재의 높은 안전성은 감마선 조사 기술을 재질손상 없이 목재를 가해 중인 균류와 충류 구제를 위해 적용할 수 있음을 의미한다.
