  1. 1. Exploring the sustainability potential of an algae-based wood adhesive : Comparative and explorative environmental life cycle assessment of algae- vs. formaldehyde- based adhesives for particleboard production

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Charlotte Rasche; [2020]
    Keywords : life cycle assessment; particleboard; bio-adhesive; wood-adhesive; bio-resin; algae; macroalgae; seaweed; kelp; formaldehyde; greener production; environmental impacts; biobased; design for the environment;

    Abstract : Adhesives used for wood composites such as particleboard are conventionally of petrochemical nature with formaldehyde as a base substance and represent a pain point in the industry due their toxic emissions. Consequently, adhesives are subject to an agenda to develop more benign, low-impact alternatives. READ MORE

  3. 2. Study of a valorisation process for biomass industrial waste involving acid cooking and enzymatic hydrolysis

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Author : Nicolas Brunet; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Lignocellulosic biomass has potential to chip in the chemical and biofuels supplies in future societies,even though lignocellulose is a recalcitrant structure that has to be treated in several steps. After theirproper life cycle, wood-derived materials such as particleboards have few outcomes today apart fromenergy recovery for heat production. READ MORE

  5. 4. Simmulating pullout forces in particleboard

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Mekanik och hållfasthetslära

    Author : Tapiwanashe Phiri; Niklas Björkman; [2019]
    Keywords : transversely isotropic material; orthotropic material; particleboard; finite element analysis; material model;

    Abstract : Pull-out forces of screws and connectors in particleboard are particularly important when designing for strength and, or assembly in the furniture industry. The aim of this thesis was to develop a simulation model of particleboard that can predict pull-out forces of screws better than the currently used simulation model at IKEA of Sweden. READ MORE
