... and light microscopy. The remained multilevel structures of soy protein played a positive contribution to the water resistance of SAs, and the bond lines of cured SAs were much more stable than those of the cured SF and soy protein concentrate (SPC). Research limitations/implications The fluidity...

... the adhesive bond between cherry wood pieces. Findings The modified soy protein adhesives by SiO₂ nanoparticles showed a significant enhancement in dry strength with nano‐SiO₂ content of 1 percent. The mechanism appears to be related to the increased interaction between adhesive...

... of 40 per cent WPI solution at 60‐63°C could unfold the globular structure of whey protein to some extent and therefore improve the bond strength and bond durability of whey‐protein based API adhesive; the additions of PVA and nano‐CaCO₃ as filler had a significant effect on the bond strength...

...R.X. Cheng; J.Y. Gu Purpose The purpose of this paper is to study the bonding properties of Larch with water‐based polymer isocynate (WPI) adhesive to provide theoretical instruction for practical production of Larch glued laminated timber with WPI adhesive. Design/methodology/approach...

...B. Vengadaesvaran; S.R. Rau; K. Ramesh; R. Puteh; A.K. Arof Purpose The paper's aim is to investigate improvement of strength and adhesion of silicone‐acrylic hybrid systems. Design/methodology/approach The presence of Si‐C bonds in phenyl silicone should be able to improve strength, adhesion...

... and then SF was added and stirred at 30°C for 2 hours. Citric acid solution was added and stirred for another 0.5 hours and then boric acid solution was added and heated at 30°C for a further 0.5 hours. The resulting adhesive was used to bond poplar veneers. Shear strength was measured to evaluate the bonding...

... would benefit the manufacturers of UF‐bonded composite panels. Design/methodology/approach The UF curing rate under each condition in terms of DSC peak temperature was measured by high‐pressure DSC at a heating rate of 15°C/min; the correlations of peak temperature with catalyst content, resin solid...

.... The solid content of slurry was controlled at ≈18 per cent and then gelatinised in a water bath shaker at 60°C for 2 h or at 100°C for 1 h. The bonding strength of RB adhesive was determined by testing the strength of three‐layer plywood. A differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) was used for detecting...

... to orthogonal experiment design, nine soy‐based adhesives were prepared. Shearing strength of plywood bonded with these adhesives was measured to evaluate the bonding strength of nine formulas. Based on statistic analysis, the main effect factor and an optimised formula were determined. Further investigation...

... prepared had fast rate of setting and good bonding, meeting the requirements of a typical structural adhesive. Urethanes are used in many types of adhesives. As structural adhesives, urethanes are found in the form of one‐part or two‐part, and curing at either ambient or elevated temperature...
