The aim is to explore lignin phosphorylation for enhancing the properties of adhesives in plywood panels.
Evaluated lignin's accessibility and molecular structure for adhesive use.
Analyzed mechanical and physical properties of plywood panels with phosphorylated lignin.
Measured formaldehyde emissions from plywood panels to assess environmental impact.
Phosphorylated lignin improved mechanical properties of plywood panels.
Significant reduction in formaldehyde emissions was observed compared to conventional adhesives.
Enhanced barrier properties were reported in modified plywood panels.
Abstract
Lignin is gaining more attention for its potential use in adhesives for wood-based composites owing to its accessibility, molecular structure, barrier properties, and potential for chemical modification.
