  • Effective Bonding Parameters for Hybrid Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT)

    Creator:
    Larkin, Blake
    Abstract:
    Cross-laminated timber (CLT) is a massive engineered wood product made of orthogonally bonded layers of solid-sawn lumber, and is intended for roof, floor, or wall applications. Although it was developed in Europe in the early 90s, CLT is relatively new to North America. CLT products must be certified for structural...

  • Multi-scale Investigation of Adhesive Bond Durability

    Creator:
    McKinley, Paige Elizabeth
    Abstract:
    Moisture durability is essential for wood composites, especially those used in building construction, where products are prone to weathering. The primary focus of this research was to determine if adhesive penetration into the cell wall has a positive influence on adhesive bond durability. To fully understand the measureable effects of...

  • 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 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...

  • Development of formaldehyde-free wood adhesives

    Creator:
    Peshkova, Svetlana
    Abstract:
    Wood adhesives are essential components of wood composites. At present, the commonly used wood adhesives, phenol-formaldehyde (PF) and urea-formaldehyde (UF) resins, are petroleum-based synthetic resins that may result in emission of formaldehyde in the production and use of wood composites. Because the world's oil reserves are naturally limited and formaldehyde...

  • Evaluation of new formaldehyde-free, soy flour-based wood adhesives for making particleboard

    Creator:
    Gu, Kai
    Abstract:
    Formaldehyde-based adhesives such as urea-formaldehyde (UF), phenol-formaldehyde (PF) are widely applied in wood-based composite industry. However, these adhesives are all petrochemical-based and could not sustain in a long term due to a limited reserve of oil and natural gas. Moreover, these adhesives emit carcinogenic formaldehyde in the production or use...

  • 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...

  • Development and characterization of new formaldehyde-free soy flour-based adhesives for making interior plywood

    Creator:
    Huang, Jian
    Abstract:
    Formaldehyde-based adhesives such as urea-formaldehyde (UF) and phenol-formaldehyde (PF) adhesives dominate the current wood adhesive market. However, these adhesives are derived from petrochemicals and carcinogenic formaldehyde. In this study, we developed two formaldehyde-free adhesives based on abundant, renewable, and inexpensive soy flour (SF). The first adhesive was mainly composed of...
