Adhesives products and demand for them in China are discussed in this paper with special emphasis on wood adhesives products in this decade. In 1994, the wood industries in China consumed more than 330,000 tons of adhesives. The estimated demand for wood adhesives will be more than 560,000 tons in the year 2000. The main wood adhesive used is urea-formaldehyde resin. Its consumption in 1994. wa...

Attempts were made to assess the role of thiols and to determine the cathepsins involved in the degradation of serum albumin in mouse liver and kidney lysosomes. Unlike cysteine or beta-mercaptoethanol, reduced glutathione (GSH) did not stimulate the degradation of formaldehyde-treated albumin in liver lysosomes, suggesting that the tripeptide did not penetrate the membrane. However, GSH was a ...

Understanding wetting behavior and surface coverage of resins on a wood surface is important to obtain satisfactory adhesion and optimize adhesive application for wood composite manufacturing. Sessile and micro-droplets of ureaand phenol-formaldehyde (UF and PF) resins were generated on wood surfaces to observe wetting behaviors using three directional image generation system and atomic force m...

CommunIcations to the Editor genesis ofthe pulmonary edema in this patient. Indeed, endorphins are released in stress situations and they can adversely affect physiologic systems, such as respiration and circulation.’ In the human fetus at term, plasma levels of beta-endorphins and betaLPH are inversely correlated with arterial pH and Po5 suggesting that hypoxia and secondary acidosis may be im...

condensation reaction of urea, casein and formaldehyde in the presence of varying proportion of resorcinol under alkaline condition. All the prepared resins were characterized by free-formaldehyde content, free-phenol content, viscosity measurements and infrared spectroscopy (IR). The resin samples were cured isothermally at 120oC using two different curing agents, p-toluene sulphonic acid (PTS...

In wood-based composite panels, low-molar ratio (LMR) urea-formaldehyde (UF) resins usually result in reduced formaldehyde emission (FE) at the expense of poor adhesion. However, FE and adhesion medium-density fiberboard (MDF) bonded with LMR UF were both improved this study. The modified transition metal ion-modified bentonite (TMI-BNT) nanoclay simultaneously MDF panels. 5% TMI-BNT resulted a...
