이 연구에서는 녹차와 목재섬유를 복합한 친환경 복합보드를 건축내장재로 활용하기 위하여, 목재섬유에 대한 녹차의 배합비율을 달리한 녹차-목재섬유 복합보드를 제작하였고, 복합보드의 동적탄성률에 미치는 녹차의 배합비율 및 바인더로 사용한 접착제의 영향을 조사하였다. 녹차-목재섬유복합보드의 동적탄성률은 녹차를 넣지 않은 대조보드(control boards)의 그것보다 적었고, 녹차배합비율이 증가할수록 커지는 경향을 나타내었다. 또한, 보드제조에 사용된 바인더의 종류에 따라 동적탄성률의 차이가 나타났는데, $E_1$급의 요소수지가 $E_0$급의 요소수지보다 1.06~1.54배의 높은 값을 나타내었으며, 녹차의 배합비율이 커질수록 양자의 차이는 커지는 것이 확인되었다. 한편, 녹차-목재섬유복합보드의 동적탄성률과 휨 강도성능과는 비교적 높은 상관관계가 확인되어 일부 편차가 큰 조건을 제외하고 동적탄성률로부터 정적 휨 강도성능의 예측이 가능할 것으로 확인되었다.
In this study, eco-friendly hybrid composite boards were manufactured from green tea and wood fibers for application as interior materials with various functionalities of green tea and strong strength properties of wood fibers. In this relation, the effect of green tea content on dynamic MOEs (modulus of elasticity) of these green tea and wood fibers composite boards were investigated. The dynamic MOEs of hybrid composite boards were lower than those of control boards without green tea, and the values decreased with the increase of green tea content. Also, the dynamic MOEs appeared to be somewhat different by resin type used for board manufacture. The hybrid composite boards manufactured from $E_1$ grade urea resin, which has higher molar ratio of formaldehyde to urea than that of $E_0$ grade one, were 1.06~1.54 times higher than that manufactured from $E_0$ grade. And, the differences between hybrid composite boards manufactured from both adhesive increased with the increase of green tea content. On the other hand, high correlations were found between dynamic MOE and static bending strength performances, it was concluded that static bending strength performances could be estimated from the dynamic MOE, except for a few hybrid board types with large variations.
