Global interest in the use of plant fibres in natural fibre reinforced composites (NFCs) is
growing rapidly. The increased interest is primarily due to the advantageous properties of …

A numerical two scale method for the prediction of tensile and bending stiffness and strength
of medium density fiberboards (MDF) is proposed with the aim to study the fiber orientation …

Recycling of the urea–formaldehyde (UF) products mainly obtained from adhesive wastes of
wood industries is vital and requires a high level of attention due to the environmental and …

In this study, two different types of acrylic resins were synthesized through emulsion
polymerization. The first category of acrylic resins contained methyl methacrylate, 2 …

A research programme has been set up whose main objective is to build a thermo-
mechanical model for simulating fire resistance tests on door sets composed of wood-based …

With the development of current technology, several concepts of self-healing materials
(SHMs) have recently been proposed, and capsule-based SHMs are explored. In our study …

Different generations of hydroxy‐terminated dendritic poly (amidoamine)(Gn OH) with
ethylenediamine as a core were prepared by successive alternative addition of …

In the present work natural rubber (NR) latex and starch was added as an adhesive to
synthesize the medium density fiber (MDF) board panels. The studies are aimed on …

Urea-formaldehyde resins are successfully used in many contexts, but their tightly
crosslinked thermoset structure impairs some applications, due to stiff and brittle behavior. In …

A virtual design method for medium density fiberboards (MDF) is proposed with the aim to
optimize the fiber orientation and lay-up of MDF. The new method estimates the stiffness and …
