Abstract

Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) wood is one of the most popular timber export products. However, its low durability can reduce the potential and utilization of the wood. Chemical modification is one of the solutions to overcome this drawback. Chemical modification using non-biocide materials such as glycerol and citric acid was carried out to improve the inferior properties of wood. The study aimed to observe the microstructure and evaluate the surface characteristics of glycerol and citric acid-modified scots pine wood. Scots pine wood was modified using glycerol and citric acid with weight percent gain (WPG) values of 20% and 46%. Surface characteristics were measured, including surface roughness, surface free energy (SFE), wettability, and bonding quality. The results show that chemical modification using glycerol and citric acid resulted in the structure of the pine wood being more filled and denser. The modification could also reduce the roughness of the wood surface, resulting in decreased SFE value, increased contact angle, and decreased wettability on the wood surface. It might cause a decrease in the bonding quality because the wood did not have the strength to mechanically lock with the paint. Glycerol and citric acid modified-scots pine wood can be considered for exterior application. Keywords: citric acid, glycerol, microstructure, scots pine, surface characteristics

Abstract

particleboard production, offering an eco-friendly alternative to conventionalwood-based composites. This mini-review synthesizes recent research on thechemical, physical, mechanical, and durability properties of particleboards madefrom sorghum residues, including bagasse, stalks, and leaves. Quantitativefindings show that sorghum particleboards can achieve densities ranging from0.56 to 1.25 g/cm³, modulus of rupture (MOR) up to 34.1 MPa, modulus ofelasticity (MOE) up to 5270 MPa, and internal bond (IB) strength up to 1.92 MPa,meeting the JIS A5908:2003 Type 8 standard in several cases. Moisture content(MC) and thickness swelling (TS) can be optimized to meet dimensional stabilityrequirements through pre-treatment, adhesive formulation, and pressingconditions. Chemically, sorghum biomass has moderate to high cellulose (30–46%) and hemicellulose (21–34%) contents, with lower lignin and ash levels thantypical wood, favoring bonding and composite integrity. Synthetic adhesives (UF,PF, pMDI) and natural alternatives (citric acid, maleic acid, sucrose) have beenexplored, with several formulations showing improved water resistance andbiodegradation resistance. Enhanced durability, including termite and fungalresistance, has been observed, particularly in bio-based adhesive boards.However, challenges remain in scaling production and standardizing raw materialquality. Future research should prioritize optimizing production methods andimproving sorghum-based particleboards' mechanical and durability properties,enabling their use in a wider range of applications.
