  • Chapter
Adhesion in Cellulosic and Wood-Based Composites

Part of the book series: NATO Conference Series ((SYSC,volume 3))

  • 203 Accesses

Abstract

Wood composites consist of various kinds of wood elements bonded together in different combinations and configurations. The elements may be fibers, particles, flakes, wafers, strands, veneers, or sawn lumber from a wood resource. These elements may be combined with metal foils, plastic films or foams, or a variety of other materials to achieve some specific performance requirement. The different wood elements can also be combined in various ways to provide the properties desired for a particular end use.
