  • 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...

  • 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...

  • Investigation of Styrene-Free Unsaturated Polyester Resins for Fiber-Reinforced Composites

    Creator:
    Wu, Yili
    Abstract:
    Most of existing commercial unsaturated polyester (UPE) resins are typically composed of a UPE and a high amount of highly volatile, flammable, and toxic styrene. The emission of hazardous styrene in the handling of the UPE resins and the preparation and use of fiber-reinforced UPE composites poses severe hazards to...

  • Investigation of Epoxy-based Wood Adhesives

    Creator:
    Mousavi, Seyyed Yahya
    Abstract:
    Wood-based composites such as plywood and particleboard are produced with a thermoset adhesive via a hot-press process. At present, UF is the most commonly used thermoset adhesive for production of decorative plywood. The emission of the carcinogenic formaldehyde from UF-bonded panels during the use of panels affects the indoor air...

  • Development and evaluation of a new formaldehyde-free wood adhesive from renewable materials for making interior plywood

    Creator:
    Jang, Yonghwan
    Abstract:
    Synthetic adhesives, such as phenol-formaldehyde (PF) resins and urea-formaldehyde (UF) resins, have dominated the wood adhesive market since they were introduced in the wood products industry. Formaldehyde, as a key component in the manufacturing of PF and UF resins, has been classified as a known human carcinogen by the International...
