Characterization of load transfer in wood-based composites

Creator:

Schwarzkopf, Matthew John

Abstract:

The mechanical performance of composite materials is determined by the mechanical properties of their individual components and the effective load transfer between these components. Binders are commonly used to bond composite components together and to provide effective load transfer between them. In wood-based composites the binder-component load transfer occurs at...

Development and evaluation of oriented strandboard bonded with soy-based formaldehyde-free adhesives

Creator:

Schwarzkopf, Matthew John

Abstract:

Synthetic adhesives like phenol formaldehyde (PF) and isocyanates dominate the wood based structural panel market. The raw materials that makeup these adhesives are based on petroleum and natural gas. The sustainability and the continued success of the wood based structural panel industry will benefit from the development of alternative adhesives...
