Fundamental study of lignin –urea formaldehyde interactions
The project focuses on using biobased materials (lignin) as a component in adhesives to make wood panel composites. The focus of the project is to reveal how the biobased material interacts with the resin as a function of lignin type. The research will lead to an understanding on how to replace expensive and synthetic components with biobased products, making it more cost competitive to produce panels, enhancing panel performance, and lowering emissions from the panel product.
