本研究以順丁烯二酐(maleic anhydride)及丙三醇(glycerol)之混合液(MG)對杉木、紅櫟木及紅柳桉等木材進行酯化之化學改質,探討MG處理材之機械強度、膠合性及塗裝性。由其結果得知,MG處理材經180℃、3 hr加熱反應者之硬度較未處理材提高,然較短時間或較低溫度加熱反應之℃處理材之硬度則較未處理材降低。各不同條件MG處理材之MOR均較未處理材降低,其降低程度同時受樹種、WPG值及處理條件所影響。MOE則依樹種而異,紅櫟木及紅柳桉之MG處理材MOE均提高,杉木以180℃加熱2 hr及3China fir (Cunninghamia lanceolata), red oak (Quercus sp.) and red lauan (Shorea sp.) were chemical modified with the mixture of maleic anhydride(M) and glycerol(G) by esterification. The mechanical strength, adhesion property and coating property of MG
