Wood Adhesives

Wood Adhesives

Wood adhesives are of tremendous industrial importance as more than two-thirds of wood products in the world today are completely or partially bonded together using a variety of adhesives. Adhesive bonding offers many advantages over other joining methods for wood components and there has been a great deal of R& D activity in devising new wood adhesives or improving the existing ones. The modern mantra in all industrial sectors is: think green go green which has attracted much attention in the wood adhesive industry. Therefore there is also a lot of research activity in synthesizing environmentally benign and human-friendly wood adhesives. This book is divided into four parts: Part 1: Fundamental Adhesion Aspects in Wood Bonding; Part 2: Synthetic Adhesives; Part 3: Environment-friendly adhesives; and Part 4: Wood Welding and General Paper. It addresses many different types of wood adhesives as well as bonding (welding) of wood components without adhesives a more recent development. The information contained in this book is valuable for individuals engaged in all aspects of wood adhesion and adhesives and hopefully will inspire new ideas in wood adhesives a topic of vital industrial importance.

Handbook of Wood Chemistry and Wood Composites

Handbook of Wood Chemistry and Wood Composites

Wood has played a major role throughout human history. Strong and versatile the earliest humans used wood to make shelters cook food construct tools build boats and make weapons. Recently scientists politicians and economists have renewed their interest in wood because of its unique properties aesthetics availability abundance and perhaps most important of all its renewability. However wood will not reach its highest use potential until we fully describe it understand the mechanisms that control its performance properties and finally are able to manipulate those properties to give us the desired performance we seek. The Handbook of Wood Chemistry and Wood Composites analyzes the chemical composition and physical properties of wood cellulose and its response to natural processes of degradation. It describes safe and effective chemical modifications to strengthen wood against biological chemical and mechanical degradation without using toxic leachable or corrosive chemicals. Expert researchers provide insightful analyses of the types of chemical modifications applied to polymer cell walls in wood. They emphasize the mechanisms of reaction involved and resulting changes in performance properties including modifications that increase water repellency fire retardancy and resistance to ultraviolet light heat moisture mold and other biological organisms. The text also explores modifications that increase mechanical strength such as lumen fill monomer polymer penetration and plasticization. The Handbook of Wood Chemistry and Wood Composites concludes with the latest applications such as adhesives geotextiles and sorbents and future trends in the use of wood-based composites in terms of sustainable agriculture biodegradability and recycling and economics. Incorporating decades of teaching experience the editor of this handbook is well-attuned to educational demands as well as industry standards and research trends.

Project Management for Research A Guide for Graduate Students

Project Management for Research A Guide for Graduate Students

Graduate research is a complicated process which many undergraduate students aspire to undertake. The complexity of the process can lead to failures for even the most brilliant students. Success at the graduate research level requires not only a high level of intellectual ability but also a high level of project management skills. Unfortunately many graduate students have trouble planning and implementing their research. Project Management for Research: A Guide for Graduate Students reflects the needs of today’s graduate students. All graduate students need mentoring and management guidance that has little to do with their actual classroom performance. Graduate students do a better job with their research programs if a self-paced guide is available to them. This book provides such a guide. It covers topics ranging from how to select an appropriate research problem to how to schedule and execute research tasks. The authors take a project management approach to planning and implementing graduate research in any discipline. They use a conversational tone to address the individual graduate student. This book helps graduate students and advisors answer most of the basic questions of conducting and presenting graduate research thereby alleviating frustration on the part of both student and advisor. It presents specific guidelines and examples throughout the text along with more detailed examples in reader-friendly appendices at the end. By being more organized and prepared to handle basic research management functions graduate students along with their advisors will have more time for actual intellectual mentoring and knowledge transfer resulting in a more rewarding research experience. | Project Management for Research A Guide for Graduate Students
