Understanding why wood bonds fail is an excellent route toward understanding how to
make them better. Certifying a bonded product usually requires achieving a specific load …

In recent times, mass timber products have encouraged renewed interest in wood as raw
material for more sustainable building and construction. However, durability concerns due to …

Abstract Hypothesis: The behavior of Heterogeneous Lyophobic Systems (HLSs) comprised
of a lyophobic porous material and a corresponding non-wetting liquid is affected by a …

The surface free energy and dynamic wettability of wood are important to the performance of
its adhesive bonding strength. In this work, the surface free energy of poplar wood samples …

The use of multifunctional wood for decorative purpose has grown increasingly popular in
recent years. In this study, fast-growing poplar wood was treated with dye (0.5%) and flame …

To eliminate formaldehyde in melamine–formaldehyde (MF) resins the nonvolatile and
nontoxic aldehyde glyoxal (G) was reacted with melamine to prepare novel melamine …

The main aim of the presented research was to compare the influence of selected ageing
factors, such as UV radiation and complex artificial weathering methods, on the colour …

Various factors, such as molecular weight (MW), reactivity, wettability, surface roughness,
surface adhesion, interphase adhesion, and cohesion of adhesives, affect the adhesion …

The effects of the penetration of polymeric diphenyl methane diisocyanate (pMDI) on the
chemical structure as well as the static and dynamic mechanical properties of wood cell …

The main goal of this paper was to clarify to what extent extractives and wood structure
determine the surface properties of hardwoods, mainly tropical. The role of wood extractives …
