Advance Wood Adhesive Technology

By Barbara Ewa Ciecińska (Rzeszow University of Technology, Poland)
Technology has brought about the age of convenience, but at a hefty cost. As a result of a growing production demand on a global scale, adhesive bonding operations also generate a huge amount of hazardous waste

The aim of this book is to present the most updated information on the fillers in different application fields, such as wood adhesives, plastic, poly (lactic acid, PLA)/rubber composite, and packaging fields. In addition, the most recent research achievements of fillers in different fields will also be covered.

This book discusses applications of adhesives and adhesive joints in different branches of industry. This information should enable scientists, engineers, and designers to acquire knowledge of adhesives and adhesive joints, which could be helpful in selecting the right type of adhesive and adhesive joint to make applications for a particular industry.

Joining techniques such as welding, brazing, riveting and screwing are used by industry all over the world on a daily basis. A further method of joining has also proven to be highly successful: adhesive bonding. Adhesive bonding technology has an extremely broad range of applications.
