Multilayer Transparent Wood with Log Color Composed of Different Tree Species.

Abstract

In this experiment, a multilayer transparent wood with different surface and core layers of tree species was prepared, which has log color. The purpose is to explore the feasibility of preparing multilayer transparent wood from different tree species as raw materials. The experiment first removed partial lignin from the veneers to obtain the wood templates. Then, tree species with rich texture and color as the surface layer wood and tree species with less texture as the core and bottom wood were selected. Finally, the resin-impregnated wood templates were laminated and dried to obtain samples. The results show that wood fiber and resin have good coordination, and the laminated structure is conducive to weakening the anisotropy of transparent wood. Transparent wood has better mechanical property and hydrophobicity than original wood. The above shows that this transparent wood has a large elastic mechanism for the selection of tree species, and the thickness optics can be adjusted according to tree species and wood layers. It has good application prospects in interior decoration or as outdoor structural material.
