  • Moisture Resistance of Wood-Based Composite Materials

    Creator:
    Molina, Luis
    Abstract:
    Dimensional stability of wood-based composites with changing moisture content remains an important challenge in the industry for many applications. Wood modification technologies have shown significant improvement in dimensional stability by altering the chemistry of the wood substrate, or by filling the available space in the wood microstructure that otherwise would...

  • Elucidating the Mechanism of CNF Reinforcement in Wood Adhesives and Composites

    Creator:
    Munoz Torres, Maria A.
    Abstract:
    In the search to improve and incorporate nano and renewable materials into urea-formaldehyde (UF), several researchers have incorporated cellulose nano fibrillated (CNF) into the adhesive. This study aimed to find an optimal way of incorporating CNF into UF and understand how CNF interacts with and changes the properties of the...

  • Effects of Temperature and Moisture Content on Bonding Performance of Mass Plywood Panels

    Creator:
    Wind, Matthias C.
    Abstract:
    As a new product patented by Freres Lumber Company in 2018, little information exists for manu-facturing procedures of mass plywood panels (MPP). At first glance, MPP may appear to be ply-wood, laminated veneer lumber (LVL), or similar to conventional cross-laminated timber (CLT). Often manufacturers, as well as users, of MPP...
