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

Using environmentally friendly biomaterials in different aspects of human life has been
considered extensively. In this respect, different biomaterials have been identified and …

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 …

Low molar ratio urea–formaldehyde (UF) resin adhesives are primarily used for the
reduction of formaldehyde emission (FE) from wood-based composites, at the expense of …

This work aims to investigate the properties of both chitin (CT), and chitosan (CS) extracted
from shrimp shell waste (SSW) and its potential use for the improvement of urea …

The aim of the present work was to investigate whether it is possible to use ground pine
needles as formaldehyde-scavenging filler for urea-formaldehyde resin in the production of …

The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of propylamine addition to urea-
formaldehyde resin on the properties of resultant plywood. The research consisted in …

An eco-friendly medium-density fiberboard (MDF) was prepared using vanillin (V)
crosslinked chitosan (CS) adhesive through a hot-pressing process. The cross-linking …

Chitosan and its derivatives (grafted chitosan and chitosan nanoparticles) were used as bio-
based adsorbents in urea-formaldehyde (UF) resins, and accordingly, their effects on the …

Abstract Urea-formaldehyde (UF) resins, as the most common adhesives for wood-based
composites, emit formaldehyde, which is forcing producers to find a solution to this problem …
