The use of alternative raw materials such as agricultural biomass and recycled wood waste
and by-products in particleboard production is a viable approach to respond to the …

Due to their high reactivity, chemical versatility and economic competitiveness,
formaldehyde-based poly-condensation adhesives are used in huge amounts-in 2010 in the …

This study investigates the possibility of using agro-industrial wastes for building products,
mainly focusing on their insulation properties. A classification of bio-wastes is provided …

It is very important to develop green composite materials owing to increasing global
environmental issues. One of the alternative raw materials for the production of green …

Citric acid (CA) can be found naturally in fruits and vegetables, particularly citrus fruit. CA is
widely used in many fields but its usage as a green modifying agent and binder for wood is …

Abstract Development of environmentally friendly particleboard made from sweet sorghum
bagasse and citric acid has recently attracted attention. In this study, we investigated the …

The production of fiberboard, particleboard, and related hot-pressed biomass products can
convert small, relatively low-valued pieces of wood into valuable products. There is strong …

Parenchyma cells (PCs) and bamboo fibers (BFs) are the main component units of natural
bamboo. However, PCs have long been discarded as waste during the industrial processing …

This series of critical reviews on Wood Adhesives Based on Natural Resources (in total four
parts) describes the experience and actual status of wood adhesives based on natural …

Very acidic pHs are not allowed in wood adhesives. The development of new self-
neutralizing adhesives has therefore become a priority. The corn starch–citric acid adhesive …
