Hot-melts based on polyolefmes (high density polyethylene, polypropylene) and thermoplastic textile fibre waste (Polyurethane, polyamide-6) were used for wood veneer bonding. Investigation of their shear (adhesive) strength, bending strength, and water resistance showed that these adhesives could be used for birch wood veneer bonding and producing plywood for application in outdoor conditions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
