Wood: Surface Properties and Adhesion (original) (raw)

2016

Abstract

Wood surface properties and adhesion are dominated by its anatomical, chemical, and physical characteristics. Wood can be categorized as a heterogeneous bio-polymer foam composite composed of cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin, and extractives. The differences among wood species as a function of anatomy, chemistry, or physical properties reinforce its description as having a heterogeneous nature. Because of the complex nature of wood structure and the myriad types of wood species, it is difficult to make sweeping generalizations about the surface properties of wood. It should be emphasized that although there are some surface property behaviors that are similar among different wood species, it is usually prudent to learn about the specific species of wood being adhesively bonded.
