The properties of new porous carbon materials "Woodceramics" are affected by the characteristics of raw boards. To investigate of density profile and resin contents in impregnated boards, control board and 3 types of steam-injected boards were made by steam injection time, The wood species used for manufacturing boards was Sugi(Cryptomeria japonica). The results are as follows: 1) The density gradient of board after 10 minutes steam injection was the smallest and non-steamed board was largest. 2) The resin content and dimensional rise decreased with increase of board density, and were the largest in board after 10minutes steam injection but there was little difference between boards after 5 and 10 minutes steam injection.

This study investigated electrical properties and far-infrared ray emission according to the carbonizing temperature and phenol-formaldehyde (PF) resin impregnation ratio of ceramics manufactured using sawdust and rice husk. The far-infrared ray emission values and emission energy values decreased as the carbonizing temperature increased. The far-infrared ray emission values of the ceramics manufactured using a carbonizing process at $600^{\circ}C$ and a board with a PF resin impregnation ratio of 60 percent was 0.930; the emission energy presented the highest value of $4.32{\times}10w/m^2$. The electric resistance decreased as the carbonizing temperature increased. For the increase in the carbonizing temperature above $1200^{\circ}C$, ceramics was very close to a conductor due to the small resistance. The power consumption increased by the decrease of electric resistance and increase of the electric current in the case of a higher resin impregnation ratio.

Woodceramics are new porous carbon materials obtained by burning wood or woody materials impregnated with thermosetting resin in a vacuum furnace. In this paper, the change of dimensions and bending strength of woodceramics which were made from medium density fiberboard have been investigated to examination the possibility of utilization as a woodceramics materials. 1) An increasing rate of dimension in impregnated board increased with increasing resin impregnation rate. And increasing rate of thickness was higher than that of length. 2) When the resin impregnation rate increased, the bending strength of impregnated board had a tendency to increase. 3) The rates of weight loss, length and thickness reduction of woodceramics showed a slight increase with increased burning temperature. 4) The density of woodceramics showed a increase from at 500℃ till at 800℃ with increasing burning temperature but decrease at 1,000℃ 5) When the burning temperature increased, the bending strength of woodceramics had a tendency to increase.

The physical and mechanical properties of sawdust-rice husk mixed ceramic were investigated with rice husk mixing ratios. The mixed ceramic board was produced with carbonization and resin impregnated sawdust-rice husk board at high temperature. At the same percentage of resin impregnation condition, density and bending strength of the mixed ceramic board increased with increasing the mixing rates of rice husk, whereas weight loss of the ceramic boards decreased. At the same temperature condition for the carbonization of resin impregnated sawdust-rice husk board, the density and bending strength were the highest with 40% of rice husk mixing ratio.

A repeated impregnation and carbonization process was introduced to product high-density woodceramics using a resin impregnation board. The density profile were measured to further confirm morphologically and structurally occurred changes of one-time and two-time phenolic resin-treated and carbonized woodceramics. After the two-time carbonization of the products, the minimum, average and maximum densities increased more than those of the one-time carbonized woodceramics, and the increase of density profile. Therefore, it is considered that the preparation of uniformed woodceramics with high-density and low density dissipation can be produced by a repeated impregnation and carbonization).

Repeated impregnation and carbonization processes were performed to prepare high-density woodceramics using a sawdust board. The physical properties were investigated to confirm morphological and structural changes of one-time and two-time phenolic resin-treated and carbonized woodceramics. As comparing between one-time and two-time carbonized woodceramics, the weight and the density of the two-time carbonized woodceramics decreased with an increase of the carbonization temperature. When the carbonization temperature was $600^{\circ}C$, the weight increased by 21.7% and density increased by 20.6% from $0.68g/cm^3$ to $0.82g/cm^3$, respectively, as a maximum value.

In this study, fiber-reinforced composite coil springs for automobiles were manufactured using the braiding method, and mechanical tests and damage evaluation were performed to confirm their safety. Through the analysis of the load-displacement behavior, the stiffness of the springs was evaluated to meet the specifications. In addition, the distribution of voids and the impregnation rate on the spring wire section were analyzed to clearly understand the criteria for the mechanical properties of the composite material. Moreover, the tested springs were visually inspected to confirm the damaged parts, and the failure mode was analyzed by observing crack initiation and propagation behavior of cross-sectional samples taken from the crack and failure adjacent areas of springs using SEM.

In this study, woodceramics were made from MDF with various resin impregnation rate. To investigate the change of surface temperature of woodceramics, the impregnated MDF was burned at the temp. 600, 800, 1,000, 1,200℃. Surface temperature of woodceramics was increased as impregnation rate and burning temperature was increased. The specimen burned at 800℃ was lower than others. Change of temperature under given temperature increased as time passed and it showed more increased in temperature at burning temperature of 1,200℃. Change of surface temperature increased when floor temperature increased and the temperature was 49.2℃ at 70℃ in floor temperature of 1,200℃ specimen. The decent in surface temperature of woodceramics was the fastest decrease at the burning temperature of 800℃ specimen.

This study was carried out to investigate the properties of sawdust board impregnated with phenol resin according to the density and resin content of board. The sawdust board were manufactured to target densities of 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7 g/cm³ and resin content of 5, 10, 15, 20% made from Pinus densiflora S. et Z., Larix. kaemferi C. and Pinus koraiensis S. et Z. The impregnation process were executed in two ways, the application of vacuum pressure then followed by atmospheric pressure, and the application of vacuum pressure with ultrasonic vibration then followed by atmospheric pressure. The density of impregnated sawdust board increased as density and resin content of sawdust board increased, but impregnation rate decreased. The density, impregnation rate, bending strength and brinell hardness of sawdust board in impregnated vacuum pressure with ultrasonic vibration then nonpressure were higher than those of vacuum pressure then nonpressure. In this results, the impregnation rate is increased in vacuum pressure with ultrasonic vibration then nonpressure, it has affected the properties of sawdust board impregnated with phenol resin.
