Abstract

Selected aspects of production and characterization of layered biopolymer composite bonded with a cellulose-based binder. This project aimed to study the possibility of using regenerated cellulose for gluing a layered composite. In the scope of research have been produced different variants of layered composite differ in wood species and pressing time. The produced composite has been characterized according to selected mechanical and physical properties. The prepared samples have been referred to as those bonded with industrial MUF resin. Obtained results proved that regenerated cellulose can be used as a bonding agent. Furthermore, the tests confirmed an improvement in mechanical and physical properties after the bonding of the regenerated cellulose.
