Resin efficiency : the effect of varying resin distributions upon resin performance in particleboard

Creator:

Hill, Michael Douglas

Abstract:

Past research has implied that differences in blender performance between commercial and laboratory particleboard blenders may not be attributed to resin distribution between screen fractions, as is commonly believed in the industry today, but to which particles within a screen fraction have resin and which do note To test this,...

The influence of seed source origin and phenological characteristics on wood quality in a young Douglas-Fir Provenance Plantation

Creator:

Robinson, Walter P.

Abstract:

The relationships of several wood quality traits with seed origin and phenological characteristics, measured at a young age, were tested from six seed sources in a young Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) provenance plantation. The wood quality traits measured were wood density, uniformity of wood density, percentage latewood, fiber length,...

Bonding wood particle composites with foamed adhesive

Creator:

Watters, Allan Eugene

Abstract:

The quality and cost of wood particle composites are substantially determined by how the adhesive that bonds the composite is distributed on the particles. Distribution of the adhesive is controlled by the method of application. Currently the adhesive is applied by spraying it onto the particles. It was hypothesized that...

Effect of wood extractives on cure of phenolic resin

Creator:

Nguyen, Dong

Abstract:

Difficulties have been encountered in gluing some Southeast Asian woods using phenolic resin. Extractives in veneers from the trade groups yellow, white, and red meranti (Shorea, Parashorea, and Pentacme spp. ), keruing (Dipterocarpus spp. ), and kapur (Dryobalanops spp. ) were suspected to be able to modify resin cure and...
