[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] ゛ □The present invention
The present invention relates to a method for producing a wood niblastic composite with improved dimensional stability using a homopolymer or i-copolymer of t-butytitsiglohexyl meth)acrylate.
゛ ゛ [Prior Art] ゛ '' In general, wood has the property of swelling and contracting when it absorbs and releases moisture, which causes warping and cracking, which ultimately leads to a decrease in strength.The reason for this. As a result, when moisture moves in wood, the moisture near the surface of the wood evaporates first and causes drying shrinkage, but inside the wood there is no shrinkage due to high ice content, and ε Stress is generated at the boundary between drying shrinkage and non-shrinkage, and it is thought that one way to relieve this stress is to cause warping and cracking.
′ □Conventionally, as a method to prevent these phenomena and improve the thinning stability of wood,
Formalization method, azetylation method, heating method, cyanoethylation method, alkyl ketene dimer treatment, ethylene oxide treatment, etc. are known, but these methods cause the wood to become brittle or the process is complicated, making it difficult to implement or requiring a lot of effort. There are drawbacks to the length of the door and the length of the door, and none of them have been put to practical use.

On the other hand, in recent years, as wood treatment methods different from the above methods, the swelling zone filling method and the monomer impregnation method are methods in which the voids of the wood are impregnated with a suitable polymer. This is a method in which a polymerizable monomer is impregnated into the part and then polymerized. All of the wood treated with these methods becomes a so-called wood-plastic composite consisting of wood and a polymer held within the voids, and the hardness and hardness of the wood vary depending on the type of polymer. It is characterized by the ability to greatly improve physical properties such as tensile strength and bending strength.

〔発明が解決しようとする問題点〕[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

しかるに、木材の前記欠点である寸法安定性を改善する
という面では、上記二つの処理方法は下記の理由により
必ずしも有効な方法とはいえなかった。
However, in terms of improving the dimensional stability, which is the drawback of wood, the above two treatment methods cannot necessarily be said to be effective methods for the following reasons.

First, in the swelling region filling method described above, polyvinyl alcohol and polyethylene glycol are known to be applicable polymers, but among these, low molecular weight polyethylene glycol has relatively good dimensional stability. can get. However, since this polymer has a low molecular weight and is liquid or semi-solid at room temperature and is water-soluble, it has the disadvantage that it is orally eluted from the surface of the treated wood, that is, the composite, making subsequent painting difficult.

In addition, various monomers such as methyl methacrylate, styrene, 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate, and polyoxyalkylene glycol (meth)acrylate are known to be applicable to the monomer impregnation method. Even if you selectively use the seven tools,
The dimensional stability of the wood cannot be sufficiently improved unless the polymer retention after impregnation polymerization is as high as 40 to 90% by weight, and such a high polymer retention significantly increases the weight of the composite. , the production cost will also be very high.

Furthermore, in the case of monomer impregnation, it is difficult to control the subsequent polymerization step.

Therefore, the present invention aims at obtaining a wood-plastic composite effective for improving the physical properties of wood as typified by the above two treatment methods, without causing the above-mentioned conventional problems. Dimensional stability is highly improved without causing problems such as leaching of polyethylene glycol, which makes subsequent painting difficult, or problems such as a significant increase in weight and production costs due to polymer retention. The purpose is to obtain the above-mentioned complex.

As a result of intensive studies to achieve the above object, the present inventors found that among the above two treatment methods, a method belonging to the swelling zone filling method, which is a method that is conventionally used as a polymer for wood filling applied to this method, was found. The realization that a wood-plastic composite with highly improved dimensional stability could be produced without the aforementioned problems by using a specific polymer that had never been used before, led to the completion of this invention. It's arrived.

That is, the present invention provides a homopolymer of tert-butylcyclohexyl (meth)acrylate or tert-butylcyclohexyl (meth)acrylate in wood.
The present invention relates to a method for producing a wood-plastic composite (hereinafter referred to as WPC), which is characterized by impregnating a copolymer of ert-butylcyclohexyl (meth)acrylate and another monomer copolymerizable with the same.

Thus, in the present invention, a homopolymer or copolymer of tert-butylcyclohexyl (meth)acrylate is used as the polymer to be impregnated and filled into wood, and these polymers have molecules derived from the above monomer in their molecules. Because it contains a lipophilic and bulky tert-butylcyclohexyl group, it is possible to polymerize not only the polymers used in the conventional swelling zone filling method but also monomers such as methyl methacrylate that were used in the monomer impregnation method. It is characterized by extremely high lipophilicity as a polymer compared to other polymers.

Therefore, when this polymer is impregnated into wood, high water repellency can be imparted to the wood, and the hygroscopicity of the wood is significantly reduced. As a result, the moisture absorption and desorption properties that cause warping and cracking of the wood are reduced, and the generation of internal stress is suppressed, so that the resulting WPC exhibits extremely excellent dimensional stability.

Due to the characteristics of the above-mentioned polymer, this dimensional stability is achieved even if the retention rate of this polymer in the wood is very small compared to the above-mentioned conventional swelling zone filling method or monomer impregnation method.
Since it can be obtained satisfactorily, a significant increase in weight of WPC is suppressed, and good results are brought about in reducing production costs. Moreover, with this polymer, unlike the conventional swelling area filling method, there is essentially no need to worry about wetting the surface of the composite by oral administration, which makes subsequent painting difficult. There is no particular risk of causing this.
