Ülevaade
Puidutehnoloogia labor tegeleb madalakvaliteediliste lehtpuuliikide väärindamisega uurides spooni ja spoonipõhiste toodete pinnaomadusi ja nende mõju liimliite tugevusele. Puidupinnaomadused sõltuvad puiduehitusest, veesisaldusest ja töötlemisprotsessi parameetritest ning on õhuniiskuse tõttu ajas muutuvad. Puidutehnoloogia laboris on olemas spetsiaalne spooni ja vineeri tootmise liin, millega saab kontrollida tehnoloogilise protsessi parameetreid ja valmistada nõutud pinnakvaliteedi ja omadustega spooni ja vineeri. Labori üheks peamiseks uurimisteemaks on biokomposiitide arendamine looduslikest kiududest (kanep, pilliroog). Kasutusaladest tulenevalt on oluline suurendada biokomposiitmaterjalide tuletõkkeomadusi, mida uuritakse koostöös ehituskonstruktsioonide uurimisrühmaga. Koostöös polümeeride ja tekstiilitehnoloogia laboriga arendatakse välja termoplastsete omadustega tselluloosi derivaatidest uudseid biopolümeere ja biokomposiite kasutamiseks pakendites.

Tähtsamad tulemused
2024. aastal jõuti ettevõtetega tehtud teaduskoostööga laborist välja piloteerimiseni pool-tööstuslikus skaalas. Uurimistöö originaalsus seisneb uudse ioonse vedeliku põhise tuletõkkeaine immutus- ja pealekandmismeetodite tehnoloogilises uuringus. Uudne tuletõkkeaine on loodud spetsiaalselt puidupõhistele plaatmaterjalidele nagu vineer. Vineeritööstus vajas uusi keskkonna nõuetele vastavaid tuletõkkeaineid, millega töötlemine oleks hästi integreeritav tootmisprotsessi. Uurimistöö andis väärtuslikku teavet selle uudse tuletõkkeaine toimimise kohta erinevate vineeri pinnaspooni ja kanepikomposiitplaadi paksuste korral.
