This specialized book comprehensively describes the technology, application, and influences of binders in wood-based material production. Particular emphasis is placed on the interplay and mutual influences of the three main parameters: wood, binder, and manufacturing conditions; these three parameters have a decisive impact on the quality of the produced wood-based materials. The main focuses of the book are: - Issues related to the composition, analysis, properties, and application of various binders, as well as their influence on the quality of the wood-based materials produced with them. - Technological fundamentals of wood-based material production. - Basics of gluing and the properties of adhesive joints. - Technological and technical fundamentals of wood-based materials. - Testing and properties of wood-based materials. Numerous illustrations and clear tables are included.
