  • Bending property enhancement of wood strand composite using viscoelastic thermal compression

    Creator:
    Rathi, Vardan M.
    Abstract:
    The fundamental intent of the study was to develop an innovative wood-strand composite for use in structural applications. Plantation grown, low density, hybrid poplar was used in the study which was found to be appropriate for the underlying Viscoelastic Thermal Compression (VTC) process. Wood modified by this process has high...

  • Analysis of adhesive atomization on composite bond performance

    Creator:
    Willard, Dylan T.
    Abstract:
    Spraying of liquid adhesive onto wood surfaces has shown to be a highly effective and efficient method of application across many different wood-based composite industries. However, the dynamics of spraying are extremely variable and distribution can be affected by liquid properties (rheology, molecular weight distribution, and temperature), application parameters (disk...
