  • 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 novel coupling agents for kenaf-fiber-reinforced unsaturated polyester composites

    Creator:
    Ren, Xiaofeng
    Abstract:
    Natural fibers are gaining popularity as reinforcement materials for thermoset resins over the last two decades. Natural fibers are inexpensive, abundant, renewable and environmentally friendly. Kenaf fibers are one of the natural fibers that can potentially be used for reinforcing unsaturated polyester (UPE). As a polymer matrix, UPE enjoys a...

  • A new method of making particleboard with a formaldehyde-free soy-based adhesive

    Creator:
    Prasittisopin, Lapyote
    Abstract:
    Particleboard is widely used for making bookshelf, furniture, cabinets and many other interior products. At present, particleboard is mainly produced with wood particles and urea-formaldehyde (UF) resins. The emission of carcinogenic formaldehyde in the production and use of particleboard has generated an urgent need for development of a formaldehyde-free wood...

  • The effects of extractives and compatibilizers on the flexural properties of natural fiber-thermoplastic composites

    Creator:
    Saputra, Hartono A.
    Abstract:
    Natural fibers such as wood, flax, and hemp are frequently used as fillers in natural fiber-plastic composites (NFPCs). At present, wood fiber is the most commonly used filler in the production of wood-plastic composites (WPCs). The advantages of these fibers compared to conventional inorganic fibers such as glass fiber is...
