"Wood adhesives are of tremendous industrial importance as more than two-thirds of wood products today in the world are totally, or at least partially, bonded together using a variety of adhesives. The reason being that adhesive bonding offers many advantages vis-a-vis other joining methods for wood components. In the recent past, there has been a brisk R& D activity in devising new wood adhesives or ameliorating the existing ones. The modern mantra in all industrial sectors is : ""Think green, go green"" and it has attracted much attention in the wood adhesive industry too. Concomitantly, there is currently much research activity in synthesizing environmentally-benign and human-friendly wood adhesives. This book is divided into four parts as follows: Part 1: Fundamental Adhesion Aspects i.q. Wood Bonding; Part 2: Synthetic Adhesives; Part 3: Environment friendly adhesives; and Part 4: Wood Welding and General Paper.

Many different ramifications of wood adhesives are accorded due coverage in this book. The bonding (welding) of wood components without using any adhesives is a relatively recent development which should prove very useful in times to come. The information contained here should be of great value and interest to anyone engaged in any aspects of wood adhesion and adhesives and, hopefully, this book will serve as a fountainhead for new ideas in wood adhesives-- a topic of vital industrial importance."
