Descriptions of methods and results experiments on the preservation geometry dimensional parameters compressed wood using chemical physical are given. Wide ranges substances were used as stabilizers in urea aqueous solution (plasticizer during pressing). Wood treatment with ultrasound, liquid nitrogen pulsed magnetic field was methods. Urotropine, urea-formaldehyde oligomer, phenol-formaldehyde...

Composite wood products have traditionally relied on thermosetting polymers like phenol-formaldehyde and urea-formaldehyde resins as binders. The continuing need to effectively utilize lignocellulosic fiber from lowquality hardwoods and from recycling streams has prompted consideration of new composites based on thermoplastic polymers [ 1,2]. Much of the development effort has focused on commod...

To discuss the reduction of formaldehyde and volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from engineered flooring, cashew nut shell liquid (CNSL)-formaldehyde (CF) resin and CF/PVAc resin were applied for the maple face of the veneer bonding on plywood. The CF resin was used to replace urea-formaldehyde (UF) resin in the formaldehyde-based resin system in order to reduce formaldehyde and VOC emis...

Regular hexagonal embedded ZnO nanorods were successfully prepared by a simple hydrothermal method. The addition of urea as a homogeneous precursor was found to play a vital role in the embedding of secondary nanorods. The nanostructures were characterized by XRD, SEM, and EDS. The gas-sensing properties of secondary grown embedded nanorods were reported for formaldehyde, ethanol, methanol, ace...

In this study, a TiO2/polyurethane composite (PU-TiO2) for photodegradation of formaldehyde was prepared based on TiO2 amino-functionalized with 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTS). FTIR, XPS, TG and TEM measurements demonstrated the successful amino-functionalization by APTS. Then NH2-TiO2 were incorporated into polyurethane (PU) through urea linkages, thermal stability, mechanical properties ...

When applying an adhesive to wood, the chemical heterogeneity of wood cell walls makes it difficult understand contribution they make interfacial adhesion between and as is a very complex physical phenomenon. This study, for first time, directly measured surface cellulose, major component urea–formaldehyde (UF) resin adhesives. The thin, smooth nanocellulose films, such cellulose nanofibrils (C...
