Nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC) was used for improving the formaldehyde (HCHO) emission and bonding strength of urea formaldehyde (UF) resin adhesive in fiberboard and plywood. The original NCC was modified by 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) and the wetting property with UF resin adhesive was improved by 26.4%. The UF resin adhesive with modified NCC was characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TG) and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR). The crystal region of UF resin adhesive was influenced by NCC and the diffraction intensity of the peak at 2θ = 22.82° was enhanced significantly. The thermal stability of UF resin adhesive with 1.0% modified NCC increased by 4.9%. And modified NCC led hydroxyl groups into the UF resin adhesive. HCHO emission and bonding strength of the UF resin adhesive with modified NCC were tested according to Chinese National Standards GB/T 17657-1999 and GB/T 9846-2004. The HCHO emission of fiberboard and plywood with 1.5% modified NCC decreased by 13.0% and 53.2%, respectively. The bonding strength of fiberboard increased by 158.3% (from 0.12 MPa of control group to 0.31 MPa of fiberboard with 1.5% modified NCC), while 1.5% modified NCC led to a 23.6% increase in the plywood.

This study aimed at exploring a producing method of urea-formaldehyde resin that contained low free formaldehyde. Effects of the pH value of addition stage, the pH value and the temperature of polycondensation stage on the properties of the resin were analyzed. The experimental results showed that controlling the pH value of addition stage to 7.5-8.0, regulating the pH value of polycondensation stage to 4.8-5.1, and keeping the temperature of polycondensation stage to 88-92°C, a low toxic urea-formaldehyde resin adhesive was obtained which contained free formaldehyde 0.08%. Using this resin adhesive, the bonding strength of the plywood reached 1.7MPa, formaldehyde emission of the plywood was 0.7mg/l, reaching the grade E1.

The development of a formaldehyde-free wood-based panel is a major research direction in the wood-based material industry. Previous research has demonstrated that nitric acid activated fibers and coupling agents could be utilized to manufacture formaldehyde-free medium-density fiberboards. Herein, based on the chemical characteristics of wood, nitric acid and tannin were applied in formaldehyde-free particleboard, featuring suitable mechanical properties and water absorption resistance. The results of modulus of rupture (MOR), surface bonding strength, internal bonding strength, and 2 h moisture thickness swelling (TS) of formaldehyde-free particleboard (that was synthesized at optimal conditions and satisfied the China National Standards GB/T 4897 (2015) and GB/T 17657 (2013)) are discussed. The investigation of the technological conditions on bond performance showed that when the particleboard was bonded with the conditions of 20/80 nitric acid/particles mass proportion, 50% tannin concentration, and 135 °C temperature, the MOR, surface bonding strength, inner bonding strength, and 2 h TS were better than that of the particles with urea formaldehyde resin adhesive. The synthesis mechanism was studied by both Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and wide-angle X-ray diffraction, and the chemical composition indicated polycondensation of furfural and tannin, and hydrogen bonding of hydroxyl groups as the reaction mechanism between nitric activation and the tannin coupling agent.

Low formaldehyde emission and high bonding strength were two basic criterions of a good urea-formaldehyde resin adhesive (UFRA). In our study, melamine modified methylolurea solution (MUS), was synthesized and used as modifier for UFRA. The bonding strength and formaldehyde emission of urea-formaldehyde resin adhesives(UFRA) were influenced by some factors such as F/U molar ratio of the main resin, F/U molar ratio of modifier, melamine content, mixing ratio of main resin with modifier, which were investigated by a series of single-factor experiments. The results showed that the best adhesive bonding strength of UFRA was 0.93MPa and the lowest formaldehyde emission was 0.43mg / L, when F/U molar ratio of the main resin was 1.5, F/U molar ratio of the MUS was 0.5, the mass fraction of melamine addition level was 5wt.% of MUS, and the mixing mass ratio of methylolurea solution (MUS) to the main UF resin was 20:80.

Reactions between CaCO3 and CH2O2 during polycondensation of UF resin produce Ca2+. Ionic bond complexation binds Ca2+ with UF resin. The UF resin crystalline percentage decreases from 26.86% to 22.71%. IB strength of resin bonded fiberboard increases from 0.75 to 0.94 MPa.

In order to reduce the cost of plywood and save edible resources (wheat flour), a cheap and resourceful clay, sepiolite, was used to modify urea formaldehyde (UF) resin. The performances of filler-filled UF resins were characterized by measuring the thermal behavior, cross section, and functional groups. Results showed that cured UF resin with SEP (sepiolite) formed a toughened fracture surface, and the wet shear strength of the resultant plywood was maximum improved by 31.4%. The tunnel structure of SEP was beneficial to the releasing of formaldehyde, as a result, the formaldehyde emission of the plywood bonded by UF resin with SEP declined by 43.7% compared to that without SEP. This study provided a new idea to reduce the formaldehyde emission, i.e. accelerating formaldehyde release before the product is put into use.

Urea-formaldehyde resin was modified by a modifier with different synthetic processes labelled as UFM1, UFM2, and UFM3 respectively. As a comparison, normal UF resin with a F/U molar ratio of 1.1 labelled as UF0 was synthesized. The thermal behavior of modified urea-formaldehyde resins was studied by TG-DTA techniques, and the properties of plywood bonded with the UFM resins were investigated. The conclusions were as follows: (1) the modifier used in this study could significantly reduce the free formaldehyde content of urea-formaldehyde resin and the formaldehyde emission of plywood; (2) The exothermic peak temperatures of DTA curve were 129.37, 125.05, 120.98, and 116.11 °C for UF0, UFM1, UFM2, and UFM3 respectively. (3) The plywood manufactured with UFM2 and UFM3 resins have high bonding strength (1.28MPa and 1.59MPa) and low formaldehyde emission value (E1 grade).
