Abstract

Fast-growing wood is rarely used by the community because of its low quality. This study aimed to modify the sengon (Falcataria moluccana) and jabon (Anthocephalus cadamba) into magnetic wood so they have new functions. In this study, the modification process was performed by impregnating five-level concentrations of Fe3O4 nanoparticles dissolved in two different dispersants, namely water and a mixture of furfuryl alcohol and water. The impregnation process is initiated by a vacuum of -0.5 bar, followed by a pressure of 1 bar for 120 min. The addition of furfuryl alcohol to the impregnation solution significantly increased the physical properties of magnetic wood. The presence of Fe3O4 in wood is also proven by the Fe-O groups observed from the FTIR spectrum analysis. The magnetic field strength also increased as the concentration level of Fe3O4 increased. Based on the results of this research, the best treatment was obtained on magnetic wood of sengon and jabon with furfuryl alcohol and Fe3O4 nanoparticles concentration of 7.5%.

Abstract

Sengon is one of the fast-growing wood that dominates Indonesian plantation forests and has been used as industrial raw material, fuel, and construction material. To enhance the physical characteristics of sengon wood, it needs technology of wood quality improvement, such as impregnation method by using Fe3O4 nanoparticles. Beside to enhance the quality of sengon wood, this technology can also expand the utilization of fast-growing wood. The presented research aims to examine the effects on physical and magnetic properties of sengon wood after being treated by magnetite nanoparticles impregnation. Magnetite nanoparticles were prepared by coprecipitation method with a precursor solution of iron ions mixture and weak base (NH4OH). The treatments of the magnetic wood consisted of 3 different concentrations that is untreated, 1% and 5% magnetite nanoparticles impregnation solution with demineralized water as a dispersant. Dimensional stability parameters, such as weight percentage growth, bulking impact, and effectiveness against swelling are increasing along the increase of concentration. Characterization tests such as SEM–EDX analysis showed the existence of Fe deposition in the wood cell membranes and pores of the wood. XRD analysis showed the appearance of magnetic peaks in the diffractogram in accordance with the decreased of crystallinity while the concentration increased and FTIR analysis showed Fe-O functional groups. Sengon wood magnetic was identified based on the VSM study, as a superparamagnetic components with mild magnetic characteristics.

Abstract

Sengon wood (Falcataria moluccana) is a fast-growing, low-quality species. In this research, nanoparticle-based impregnation was used to improve the quality and characteristics of sengon wood. SiO2 nanoparticles derived from bamboo leaves were synthesized using the sol-gel method, while TiO2 nanoparticles and SiO2/TiO2 nanocomposites were synthesized using the hydrothermal method. A mixture of citric acid, glycerol, and nanoparticles (SiO2, TiO2, and SiO2/TiO2 composite) was formulated as an impregnation solution at 1% concentration. Sengon wood impregnation was conducted using a vacuum-pressure method. The physical properties tested included weight percent gain (WPG), bulking effect (BE), anti-swelling efficiency (ASE), water uptake (WU), and density. The size of the synthesized nanoparticles was analyzed using a particle size analyzer (PSA). The impregnated sengon wood was characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) to identify functional groups and X-ray diffraction (XRD) to determine the degree of crystallinity. PSA analysis showed that the material used in the impregnation process is nanoscale (< 100 nm) and exhibits the best dispersion stability in the SiO2/TiO2 nanocomposite. Nanoparticle-impregnated sengon wood exhibited reduced WU and improved dimensional stability compared to untreated samples, especially in citric acid-glycerol and composite nanoparticle treatments. FTIR analysis identified the formation of ester bonds and the reduction of hydroxyl groups, and XRD analysis showed a decrease in crystallinity upon impregnation with nanoparticles and a citric acid-glycerol mixture. Overall, the use of citric acid-glycerol with the nanocomposite showed effectiveness in improving the dimensional stability and physical properties of sengon wood.
