Abstract

The possibility of veneer bonding with recycled polystyrene was examined. Five pressing regimes were studied. It was shown that low-pressure pre-heating is a necessary step allowing for increasing final shear strength of the wood-thermoplastic joints and avoiding indentation of thermoplastic particles to wood.
