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.

Bio-based Wood Adhesives Preparation Characterization and Testing

Bio-based Wood Adhesives Preparation Characterization and Testing

Adhesive bonding plays an increasing role in the forest product industry and is a key factor for efficiently utilizing timber and other lignocellulosic resources. As synthetic wood adhesives are mostly derived from depleting petrochemical resources and have caused increasing environmental concern natural product and byproduct-derived adhesives have attracted much attention in the last decades. Although adhesives made from plant and animal sources have been in existence since ancient times increased knowledge of their chemistry and improved technical formulation of their preparation are still needed to promote their broader industrial applications. The primary goals of this book are to (1) synthesize the fundamental knowledge and latest research on bio-based adhesives from a remarkable range of natural products and byproducts (2) identify need areas and provide directions of future bio-based adhesive research and (3) help integrating research findings in practical adhesive application for maximal benefits. This book covers information on a variety of natural products and byproducts and the latest research on formulation testing and improvement of the relevant adhesives in fifteen chapters written by an international group of accomplished contributors. This book will serve as a valuable reference source for university faculty graduate students research scientists agricultural and wood engineers international organization advocators and government agency regulators who work and deal with enhanced utilization of agricultural and forest products and byproducts. | Bio-based Wood Adhesives Preparation Characterization and Testing

Engineered Bamboo Structures

Engineered Bamboo Structures

Bamboo is in the spotlight as a potential building material in the current pursuit of a CO2-neutral society due to its rapid maturation and excellent mechanical properties. Despite the growing interest in bamboo in academia and society there is a lack of systematic understanding of the fabrication design and construction processes using bamboo as a modern industrial material. This is the first book to describe a new category of structural systems constructed with engineered bamboo. It gives a definition of engineered bamboo (glubam) in an analogy with steel structures and wood structures. Structural systems and components have been designed using glubam; then industrialized production processes of glubam are described. Based on state-of-the-art research design guidelines are suggested in a comparable and parallel approach to the existing guidelines for composite wood structures. The book also discusses bamboo structures in the context of sustainable development including the benefits of using bamboo as an alternative or replacement for wood especially for developing countries many of which are faced with the lack or destruction of forest resources. | Engineered Bamboo Structures
