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.

Manfred Dunky has over 40 years of experience in the chemical and wood-based panels industry as a researcher and application manager, continuing now as a consultant for this industry. He earned his doctoral degree in 1980 from the University of Leoben, Austria. He is the author of two comprehensive books, (co-)editor of several conference proceedings, and of about 50 original and extensive review papers on synthetic and natural adhesives and wood-based panel technology. During his career, he worked with synthetic wood adhesives as well as with adhesives based on natural resources and their application in panel production. Besides his industry career, he has lectured at universities for 30 years and in 2000 received his habilitation (post-doctoral lecturing qualification) for ""Wood Science with special consideration of wood-based panels."" He speaks regularly at international wood science conferences.
