Technology of Adhesives and Wood-Based Panels

Technology of Adhesive and Wood-Based Panels covers various aspects of wood-based panels, emphasizing the technologies behind the diverse raw materials and production steps. This book covers the various aspects of the production of wood-based panels, a topic that is seldom available. It includes discussions on the influences of wood material and the wood bonding performance of wood-based materials. Read more discussions on the influence of adhesives and how they’re generated on wood surfaces. Many research articles published as far back as the mid-20th century are included, emphasizing the technologies behind the different raw materials and production steps.

The structure of the book is oriented according to the production process. The first section starts with the raw materials and applications of adhesives onto the wood surface. In addition, the section continues to discuss curing or solidifying the adhesive. The second section investigates the properties of the bondline in the wood-based panels and the properties of the panels. It also describes the main aspects of bonding and describes different development topics. The third section talks about how the wood-based panel industry increases the proportion of recycling material, basic research, and interactions of the materials.
