Creator:: Jay, Gregory Lynn
Abstract:: The substantial increase in resin costs due to the recent energy crisis, increased public awareness to the problem of free formaldehyde from boards bonded with urea-formaldehyde resins, and a projected increase in the production of exterior board have emphasized the need for new and substitute adhesive systems. One new development...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis

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,...

Creator:: Milota, Michael R.
Abstract:: The ability of the resin to deform plastically can be an important factor when considering the mechanical properties of particleboard. Between resin droplets there exists an unbonded region that forms the surface for a crack. When particleboard is deformed stress concentrations develop at the crack tips in the voids. A...

Creator:: Wright, Rhonda R.
Abstract:: The development of an OSB (oriented strand board) industry in Western Oregon would prove to be a real boost to the economy of an area that has suffered from the earlier recession of the forest products industry. Past studies have shown that it is technically feasible to produce OSB from...

Creator:: Gao, Hong
Abstract:: Wood and wood-based composites are being used in either new or more demanding applications. A means is needed to successfully analyze new materials and to predict their long-term performance. Two techniques, dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) and time-temperature superposition (TTS) offer a means to accomplish this objective. The outcome of this...

Creator:: Gao, Hong
Abstract:: Particleboard is a widely used composite panel product consisting of consolidated wood particles and adhesive. On a macro level the panel appears to be homogeneous, however, its density varies both throughout the plane of the panel as well as through its thickness. Of concern for this thesis is the through-thickness...
