  1. Properties of composite wood panels fabricated from Eastern redcedar employing various bio-based green adhesives

    Bio-based flours derived from distiller s dried grains with solubles (DDGS), Osage orange seed meal (OOSM), or defatted commercial soybean meal flour-Prolia (PRO) were employed as adhesives with Eastern redcedar (Juniperus virginiana L.) wood (ERC) to fabricate composite wood panels (CWPs). OOSM and DDGS were defatted, milled, and screened prior to...

  2. Mechanical properties of wood-based composite materials

    The term composite is used to describe any wood material bonded together with adhesives. The current product mix ranges from fiberboard to laminated beams and components. In this chapter, wood-based composite materials are classified into the following categories: panel products (plywood, oriented strandboard (OSB), particleboard, fiberboard, medium-density fiberboard...

  3. Flexible cellulose nanofibril composite films with reduced hygroscopic capacity

    Cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs), which are generated from abundant, environmentally friendly natural plant resources, display numerous interesting properties such as outstanding mechanical strength, negligible light scattering, and low thermal expansion (Zimmermann et al., 2010). These nanofibers are usually created by mechanical fibrillation or chemical oxidation of pulp...

  4. Cradle-To-Gate Life Cycle Assessment of North American Hardboard and Engineered Wood Siding and Trim Production

    CORRIM, the Consortium for Research on Renewable Industrial Materials (www.corrim.org), has derived life-cycle inventory (LCI) data for nine major wood products and four wood production regions in the United States (US). The LCI data cover forest regeneration through to final product at the mill gate. CORRIM’s LCI studies have included both structural and nonstructural...

  5. Comparative study of cellulose nanofibrils Disintegrated from different Approaches

    The use of renewable materials has received a great deal of attention over the last several decades due to the environmental impact and finite resources of petroleum and other non-renewable resources. Cellulose nanofibrils are a type of nanomaterial made from natural resources like wood and non-wood plants, and they are considering promising alternative to existing...
