The global demand for sustainable building materials has fuelled research into composite
panels from wood waste. Despite their potential, the widespread adoption of this practice is …

Lignin containing cellulose nanofibril (LCNF) was reported, for the first time, to improve the
performance of polymeric diphenylmethane diisocyanate (pMDI) as a wood adhesive. The …

Application of epoxidized soybean oil (ESO) in the wood industry as an adhesive has been
limited due to the difficulty in fast curing ESO. Due to the advantages of the urea …

Chemical reactivity of heat-treated wood was compared with that of untreated wood. For this
purpose, heat-treated pine or beech sawdust was reacted with different carboxylic acid …

Tightening formaldehyde emission limits and the need for more sustainable materials have
boosted research towards alternatives to urea-formaldehyde adhesives for wood-based …

Commercial binders based on formaldehyde are the main adhesive to produce
particleboards, however, these binders are harmful to human health and the environment. In …
