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...

Non-destructive evaluation of veneer using optical scanning and ultrasonic stress wave analysis systems

Creator:

DeVallance, David B.

Abstract:

Non-destructive commercial ultrasonic grading provides laminated veneer lumber (LVL) manufacturers a means for sorting veneer based on average ultrasonic propagation time (UPT) and/or average dynamic modulus of elasticity (MOEd). While this may provide reliable estimations of modulus of elasticity (MOE), little is known about the influence of veneer defects on...
