The book provides essential insights into the critical role of adhesive bonding in maximizing the value of wood products, equipping both students and industry professionals with the knowledge necessary to enhance production processes and improve product performance. Adhesive bonding of wood is a key factor in the efficient utilization of wood for the production of value-added wood products, such as wood-based panels. The production of wood-based panels requires high-performance bonds between wood adherends and the properties of these wooden products are largely determined by the type and performance of the adhesive used. Technology of Adhesives and Wood-Based Panels comprehensively covers wood-based panels, focusing on the technologies behind their raw materials and their production. Journey through the production process: starting with the raw materials, then application of adhesives onto the wood’s surfaces, pressing the mat to the board, and curing or solidifying the adhesive. Finally, this journey will culminate in an investigation of the properties of the bondline in wood-based panels. This volume explores important concepts, including the influence of wood materials and surface on wood bonding, the performance of wood-based panels, the production technology of panels, and the behavior of adhesives when applied to wood surfaces, making it a valuable resource to industry professionals and students alike. Readers will find that this book: Introduces wood adhesives and their chemistry and applications;Comprehensively covers the technology of wood-based panels;Explores connections for properties and performance between adhesives and bonded products;Provides recent developments in wood adhesives and wood-based panels.Audience Engineers, chemists, scientists, researchers, students, production managers and technologists in the wood, wood-based panel, and adhesive industries.

Biobased Adhesives Unique and comprehensive book edited by acknowledged leaders on biobased adhesives that will replace petroleum-based adhesives. This book contains 23 chapters covering the various ramifications of biobased adhesives. The chapters are written by world-class scientists and technologists actively involved in the arena of biobased adhesives. The book is divided into three parts: Part 1: Fundamental Aspects; Part 2: Classes of Biobased Adhesives; and Part 3: Applications of Biobased Adhesives. Topics covered include: an introduction to biobased adhesives; adhesion theories and adhesion and surface issues with biobased adhesives; chemistry of adhesives; biorefinery products as biobased raw materials for adhesives; naturally aldehyde-based thermosetting resins; natural crosslinkers; curing and adhesive bond strength development in biobased adhesives; mimicking nature; bio-inspired adhesives; protein adhesives; carbohydrates as adhesives; natural polymer-based adhesives; epoxy adhesives from natural materials; biobased polyurethane adhesives; nanocellulose-modified adhesives; debondable, recyclable, and biodegradable biobased adhesives; 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural-based adhesives; adhesive precursors from tree-derived naval stores; and applications in various diverse arenas such as wood bonding, controlled drug delivery, and wearable bioelectronics. Audience This book will interest materials scientists, adhesionists, polymer chemists, marine biologists, food and agriculture scientists, and environmentalists. R&D personnel in a slew of wide-ranging industries such as aviation, shipbuilding, railway, automotive, packaging, construction, wood bonding, and composites should find this book a repository of current and much-needed information.

Dieses Fachbuch beschreibt in umfassender Weise Technologie, Anwendung und Einflüsse von Bindemitteln bei der Holzwerkstoffherstellung. Besonderer Wert wird auf das Zusammenspiel und die gegenseitigen Beeinflussungen der drei Hauptparameter Holz, Bindemittel und Herstellungsbedingungen gelegt; diese drei Parameter haben entscheidenden Einfluß auf die Qualität der produzierten Holzwerkstoffe. Die Schwerpunkte des Buches sind:- Fragen der Zusammensetzung, Analyse, Eigenschaften und Anwendung der verschiedenen Bindemittel sowie ihres Einflusses auf die Qualität der damit hergestellten Holzwerkstoffe. - Technologische Grundlagen der Holzwerkstoffherstellung. - Grundlagen der Verleimung und der Eigenschaften von Leimfugen. - Technologisch/technische Grundlagen der Holzwerkstoffe. - Prüfung und Eigenschaften von Holzwerkstoffen. Durch zahlreiche Abbildungen und übersichtliche Tabellen wird eine besonders hohe Informationsdichte erzielt.
