활엽 및 침엽수종에 대한 Vinyl계 단량체들의 침투 및 분포거동에 관하여 고찰하였다. 특히 목재내에서 단량체분포의 균일성 여부와 Diffusion에 의한 단량체의 유동 현상에 관하여 관찰하였다. Diffusivity는 Void volume의 크기에 비례하였으나 균일성 여부는 목재의 Fluid Pathway 구조에 의한 영향이 컸다. 활엽수종은 MMA를, 침엽수종은 styrene을 각각 더 많이 침투시켰다.

Overall impregnation behaviors with vinyl monomers to some leaf and needle woods and their distribution in woods are described. Attention is directed toward the observations of both the monomer uniformity in wood and fluid flow by diffusion mechanism which is one of the important processes in practical impregnation treatments of bulk wood. Diffusivity is appeared to depend on the percentage of void, but the uniformity of fluids in wood is found to be promarily limited by the nature of fluid pathways. Leaf woods show their affinities to MMA, but pines have exhibited their preferences to styrene.
