Microcellulose as a modifier for UF and PF resins allowing the reduction of adhesive application in plywood manufacturing / Jakub Kawalerczyk ... [et al.]. -- Graf., tab. -- Lit. - The cellulosic derivatives has become widely investigated modifiers for urea-formaldehyde (UF) and phenol-formaldehyde (PF) adhesives in recent years. As microcellulose is more cost-effective and commercially available than nanocellulose, the aim of the presented study is to investigate the possibility of reducing the amount of applied UF and PF resins due to their microcellulose reinforcement. Plywood was manufactured with different amounts of modified resin and compared to the reference one containing rye flour or tannin based filler. The panels were tested in terms of shear strength and formaldehyde release (in the case of plywood glued with UF resin). The studies have shown that the addition of microcellulose (MFC) allowed reducing the amount of applied resin by 6% while maintaining the equally good bonding strength. Moreover, this reduction led to a decrease in the formaldehyde release by 9%.
