Abstract
In this study, a brand new bamboo scrimber–rubberwood CLT (BRCLT) has been proposed, along with one-component polyurethane (PUR) adhesive. Three processing factors were considered, pressure (1.5 MPa and 2.0 MPa), glue spread rate (150 g m−2 and 200 g m−2), and application of a water-based surface modifier. The bonding performance of BRCLT was examined by conducting block shear, delamination, short-span flatwise shear and four-point bending tests. It was found that (1) the optimal gluing process for fabricating BRCLT was a pressure of 2 MPa, a glue spread rate of 150 g/m−2, and the application of a water-based surface modifier. (2) The modifier significantly reduced the delamination rate of BRCLT. (3) BRCLT produced using the optimal bonding parameters can meet V1-grade CLT in terms of maximum shear stress, modulus of rupture (MOR), and modulus of elasticity (MOE), as stipulated in the American standard ANSI/APA PRG 320, suggesting BRCLT had a great potential to be a new member of CLT family.
期刊介绍:
European Journal of Wood and Wood Products reports on original research and new developments in the field of wood and wood products and their biological, chemical, physical as well as mechanical and technological properties, processes and uses. Subjects range from roundwood to wood based products, composite materials and structural applications, with related jointing techniques. Moreover, it deals with wood as a chemical raw material, source of energy as well as with inter-disciplinary aspects of environmental assessment and international markets.
European Journal of Wood and Wood Products aims at promoting international scientific communication and transfer of new technologies from research into practice.
