The Effects of Polystyrene Species and Fiber Direction on Thermal Conductivity of Plywood

Abstract

Thermal conductivity of wood material is superior to other building materials because of its porous structure. Thermal conductivity is used to estimate the ability of insulation of material. Thermal conductivity of wood material has varied according to wood species, direction of wood fiber, specific gravity, moisture content, resin type, and addictive members used in manufacture of wood composite panels. The aim of study was to determine the effect of polystyrene species and fiber direction on thermal conductivity of plywood panels. In the study, two different wood types (black pine and spruce), two different fiber directions (parallel and perpendicular to the plywood fiber direction), two different types of insulator (expanded polystyrene-EPS and extruded polystyrene-XPS) and phenol formaldehyde glue were used as the adhesive type. Thermal conductivity of panels was determined according to ASTM C 518 & ISO 8301. As a result of the study, the lowest thermal conductivity values were obtained in the perpendicular fiber direction of the spruce plywood using XPS as insulation material. The use of XPS as an insulation material in plywood has given lower thermal conductivity values than EPS.
