Adhesives and Finishes for Wood

Understand the science of joining wood with this comprehensive guide

Long seen as an old-fashioned material with narrowing modern applications, wood has seen increased popularity as a material in building and manufacturing in recent years. This has been driven by the need for sustainable resources and environmentally friendly materials. As a result of increased emphasis on wood, however, there is a corresponding need to understand the wood adhesives, the crucial materials in wood-based manufacture and craftsmanship.

Adhesives and Finishes for Wood meets this need with a comprehensive but accessible introduction to the chemistry and applications of wood adhesives. Its easy-to-follow presentation nonetheless presents wood adhesives and finishes in significant detail. Ideal for readers without considerable preexisting knowledge in chemistry, this book includes everything the reader needs to understand and apply wood adhesives in their work or industry.

Adhesives and Finishes for Wood readers will also find:

• Coverage ranging from the fundamentals of wood adhesive polymer chemistry to the properties of specific wood structures and resins
• A presentation suitable for both academic students and wood manufacture professionals
• An author with decades of experience in both academia and industry

Adhesives and Finishes for Wood is a useful reference for advanced students and professionals in industries or manufacturing disciplines that incorporate wood, as well as for chemists, materials scientists, vocational school instructors, and more.
