This book will focus on lignocellulosic fibres as a raw material for several applications. It will start with wood chemistry and morphology. Then, some fibre isolation processes will be given, before moving to composites, panel and paper manufacturing, characterization and aging.

Soy protein isolate was reacted first with maleic anhydride and then hexamethylenediamine to synthesis soy protein isolate-based polyamides (SPIPA). Its bonding properties were measured by preparing laboratory three-layer plywood. Furthermore, a silane coupling agent (KH560), citric acid and maleic ...

The development of eco-friendly wood adhesives has attracted tremendous attention due to the aggravation of the oil resource crisis and the enhancement of environmental protection awareness. In this study, sucrose as a biomass material that was treated with an oxidizing agent to form bio-aldehydes, ...

Broussonetiapapyrifera leaf protein was used as a biomass feedstock to prepare wood adhesives, and the influence of cutting modes (cutting frequencies and cutting heights) on leaf protein content and reactivity was studied in this paper. Bonding performance of Broussonetiapapyrifera leaf...

After demethylation, eucalyptus pyrolysis oil has higher reactivity with formaldehyde in alkaline media than the raw oil. The objective of the present work was to evaluate the effect of adding polymeric diphenylmethane diisocyanate (PMDI) on a demethylated oil-based adhesive. Chemical composition...
