  • Development of formaldehyde-free wood adhesives

    Creator:
    Peshkova, Svetlana
    Abstract:
    Wood adhesives are essential components of wood composites. At present, the commonly used wood adhesives, phenol-formaldehyde (PF) and urea-formaldehyde (UF) resins, are petroleum-based synthetic resins that may result in emission of formaldehyde in the production and use of wood composites. Because the world's oil reserves are naturally limited and formaldehyde...

  • Multi-scale Investigation of Adhesive Bond Durability

    Creator:
    McKinley, Paige Elizabeth
    Abstract:
    Moisture durability is essential for wood composites, especially those used in building construction, where products are prone to weathering. The primary focus of this research was to determine if adhesive penetration into the cell wall has a positive influence on adhesive bond durability. To fully understand the measureable effects of...

  • Pressure sensitive adhesives based on oleic acid

    Creator:
    Wu, Yili
    Abstract:
    Existing pressure sensitive adhesives (PSAs) are mostly based on petrochemicals. In this study, a novel PSA based on a renewable material, methyl oleate, was prepared and characterized. Methyl oleate was first epoxidized to form epoxidized methyl oleate that was subsequently hydrolyzed and acidified to form epoxidized oleic acid (EOA) which...

  • Development and characterization of new formaldehyde-free soy flour-based adhesives for making interior plywood

    Creator:
    Huang, Jian
    Abstract:
    Formaldehyde-based adhesives such as urea-formaldehyde (UF) and phenol-formaldehyde (PF) adhesives dominate the current wood adhesive market. However, these adhesives are derived from petrochemicals and carcinogenic formaldehyde. In this study, we developed two formaldehyde-free adhesives based on abundant, renewable, and inexpensive soy flour (SF). The first adhesive was mainly composed of...

  • Development and evaluation of oriented strandboard bonded with soy-based formaldehyde-free adhesives

    Creator:
    Schwarzkopf, Matthew John
    Abstract:
    Synthetic adhesives like phenol formaldehyde (PF) and isocyanates dominate the wood based structural panel market. The raw materials that makeup these adhesives are based on petroleum and natural gas. The sustainability and the continued success of the wood based structural panel industry will benefit from the development of alternative adhesives...

  • Occupant satisfaction in a LEED registered building

    Creator:
    Anderson, Amy A.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this study was to look at occupant satisfaction with Kelley Engineering Center, a LEED registered building. Results from a post-occupancy evaluation of Kelley conducted in spring 2006 were compared to those from a pre-occupancy survey of occupants in non-green buildings disseminated in spring 2005. The results showed...

  • Evaluation of new formaldehyde-free, soy flour-based wood adhesives for making particleboard

    Creator:
    Gu, Kai
    Abstract:
    Formaldehyde-based adhesives such as urea-formaldehyde (UF), phenol-formaldehyde (PF) are widely applied in wood-based composite industry. However, these adhesives are all petrochemical-based and could not sustain in a long term due to a limited reserve of oil and natural gas. Moreover, these adhesives emit carcinogenic formaldehyde in the production or use...

  • Fluorescence Spectrometry to Quantify Percent Wood Failure in Adhesive Bonds

    Creator:
    Rueppel, Talbot B.
    Abstract:
    Structural engineered wood manufacturers need a quantitative measurement technique to determine the ratio of wood to adhesive failure in their shear specimens. Visual estimation of percent wood failure has long stood as an extremely subjective quality control approach according to ASTM D5266 – Standard Practice for Estimating the Percentage of...

  • Development of a Strain Gage Program for the Measurement of Strain on Prototypic, Plate-type, High Performance Research Reactor Fuels under Flow Testing

    Creator:
    Weiss, Aaron W.
    Abstract:
    A large, multi-year experimental program has been conducted to develop a strain gaging program for application to the flow testing of prototypic, plate-type fuel for high performance research reactors. This test program has resulted in the selection of appropriate strain gage construction, adhesives, and protective coatings to allow the acquisition...
