Traditional wood-based panels are produced with synthetic, formaldehyde-based
adhesives, commonly made from fossil-derived constituents, such as urea, phenol …

Urea-formaldehyde resins (UFs) for adhesives have attracted particular interest among other
thermosetting polymers applied in the broad area of wood panels technology. UFs are the …

Porous carbon nanosheets with high specific surface area have become the most promising
electrode materials for supercapacitor, but their high pore volume leads to relatively low …

The potential of using ground birch (Betula verrucosa Ehrh.) bark as an eco-friendly additive
in urea-formaldehyde (UF) adhesives for plywood manufacturing was investigated in this …

Waste recycling is one of the key aspects in current day studies to boost the country's
circular economy. Recycling wood from construction and demolished structures and …

In the present work urea–formaldehyde resins (UF) containing different amounts of SiO2
nanoparticles were synthesized and studied in depth. All the hybrids were characterized …

In this work, quaternary ammonium salt (QAS) functionalized fluorinated copolymer tethered
hydroxyl groups were synthesized by free radical polymerization. And then novel liquid …

Urea formaldehyde (UF) microcapsules loaded with linseed oil and mercaptobenzothiazole
(MBT) as core materials have been synthesized by in situ emulsion polymerization. The …

The application of phenol–formaldehyde (PF) resin adhesive has been greatly limited due to
its toxicity, non-renewability and high-cost. Tannin, which is mostly extracted from renewable …

In the current study, a set of urea–formaldehyde microcapsules (UFMs) were synthesized at
different conditions via the in situ polymerization method. Encapsulation ability of the UFMs …
