The importance of wood bonding increased in the last decades due to the
increased usage of wood composites whose performance depends to a large extent on
the adhesive penetration and subsequent bonding of the adherends. The presented
research used XMT (x-ray microtomography) to perform a non-destructive, threedimensional
analysis of the...

non-destructive, three-
dimensional analysis of the adhesive bondline and wood-structure of Southern
There is no doubt that adhesive penetration plays an important role in wood bondline joint performance and durability; yet, to date there is no direct experimental evidence linking penetration depth with bond performance. This is, in part, because adhesive penetration is commonly assessed with various 2D microscopy techniques that are...
