Abstract

In this study, the effects of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) added to urea-formaldehyde (UF) and melamine-urea-formaldehyde (MUF) adhesives on the physical and mechanical properties of particleboards were investigated. Particleboards were produced by adding MWCNTs at concentrations of 0.5 %, 1 %, and 1.5 % to the adhesives, and their properties were evaluated. The addition of MWCNTs improved water absorption (WA), thickness swelling (TS), modulus of rupture (MOR), modulus of elasticity (MOE) in bending, and internal bond (IB) strength. The best results were observed at 1.5 % MWCNT for UF adhesive and 1 % MWCNT for MUF adhesive. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) revealed enhanced chemical bonding within the adhesive matrix, while thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) demonstrated improved thermal stability of the composites. Statistical analysis using response surface methodology (RSM) confirmed the impact of MWCNT content and adhesive type on the performance of the boards. The findings of this study indicate that MWCNTs are promising additives for developing high-performance, durable, and sustainable wood-based composites.

期刊介绍： Construction and Building Materials offers an international platform for sharing innovative and original research and development in the realm of construction and building materials, along with their practical applications in new projects and repair practices. The journal publishes a diverse array of pioneering research and application papers, detailing laboratory investigations and, to a limited extent, numerical analyses or reports on full-scale projects. Multi-part papers are discouraged. Additionally, Construction and Building Materials features comprehensive case studies and insightful review articles that contribute to new insights in the field. Our focus is on papers related to construction materials, excluding those on structural engineering, geotechnics, and unbound highway layers. Covered materials and technologies encompass cement, concrete reinforcement, bricks and mortars, additives, corrosion technology, ceramics, timber, steel, polymers, glass fibers, recycled materials, bamboo, rammed earth, non-conventional building materials, bituminous materials, and applications in railway materials.
