The first attempt to transform the basic strategy of this natural process for use in human craftsmanship was the ancient lacquer method. The sap of the lacquer tree (Rhus verniciflua) contains large amounts of a phenol (urushiol), a polysaccharide and the enzyme laccase. This oil-in-water emulsion solidifies in the presence of oxygen. The Chinese began using this phenomenon for the production of highly creative artwork more than 6,000 years ago. It was the first example of an isolated enzyme being used as a catalyst to create an artificial plastic compound. In order to apply this process to the production of products on an industrial scale, an inexpensive phenol must be used, which is transferred by an enzyme to active radicals that react with different components to form a compounded material. At present, the following approaches have been studied: (1) In situ polymerization of lignin for the production of particle boards. Adhesive cure is based on the oxidative polymerization of lignin using phenoloxidases (laccase) as radical donors. This lignin-based bio-adhesive can be applied under conventional pressing conditions. The resulting particle boards meet German performance standards. By this process, 80% of the petrochemical binders in the wood-composite industry can be replaced by materials from renewable resources. (2) Enzymatic copolymerization of lignin and alkenes. In the presence of organic hydroperoxides, laccase catalyses the reaction between lignin and olefins. Derailed studies on the reaction between lignin and acrylate monomers showed that chemo-enzymatic copolymerization offers the possibility to produce defined lignin-acrylate copolymers. The system allows control of the molecular weights of the products in a way that has not been possible with chemical catalysts. This is a novel attempt to enzymatically induce grafting of polymeric side chains onto the lignin backbone, and it enables the utilization of lignin as part of new engineering materials. (3) Enzymatic activation of the middle-lamella lignin of wood fibers for the production of wood composites. The incubation of wood fibers with a phenol oxidizing enzyme results in oxidative activation of the lignin crust on the fiber surface. When such fibers are pressed together, boards are obtained which meet the German standards for medium-density fiber boards (MDF). The fibers are bound together in a way that comes close to that by which wood fibers are bound together in naturally grown wood. This process will, for the first time, yield wood composites that are produced solely from naturally grown products without any addition of resins."],["dc.identifier.isi","000168842900001"],["dc.identifier.pmid","11398916"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/25281"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Springer"],["dc.relation.issn","1432-0614"],["dc.relation.issn","0175-7598"],["dc.title","Modification of lignin for the production of new compounded materials"],["dc.type","review"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

The adhesion performance of DAC adhesives was investigated using tensile shear strength measurements according to European standard EN302-1. Results showed the DO and the concentration of DACs had a predominant impact on the adhesion performance. The optimal formulation of DAC adhesives was found to be the aqueous solutions of DAC with a DO of 1.75 and a concentration of 40 wt %. The corresponding best bonding performance was represented by the bonding strength of about 9.53 MPa for beech wood specimens and 5.75 MPa for spruce wood specimens. Furthermore, wood specimens in shear strength tests mainly revealed a substrate failure mode rather than adhesive or cohesive failure. This indicates that the DAC adhesives possessed a stronger bonding strength than the wood itself.

Although the basic colour of wood was slightly changed due to the modification, modified and unmodified samples did not display any colour differences after coating with translucent stains. Blocking of coated wooden substrates (degree of adhesiveness) was dependant on the type of finish system and, in a few cases, on the wood substrate. For all wood substrates, both treated and untreated, solvent-borne alkyd finish penetrated into the surface layers of the wood cells, while water-borne acrylic finishes spread only on the wood surfaces. The solvent-borne alkyd finish dried much more slowly on wood substrates than did the water-borne acrylics. Modification with mDMDHEU did not affect the drying rates of the finishes tested. The wet adhesion depended on the finish systems tested and on the pre-treatment of the wooden substrate. With regard to the pre-treatment, wet adhesion of one water-borne and the solvent-borne finish systems was significantly enhanced through precedent modification with mDMDHEU. The other two water-borne finish systems showed a higher degree of wet adhesion. This study demonstrates that modification of the wood substrate with mDMDHEU is compatible with both water-borne and solvent-borne finish systems and improves their wet adhesion on the wood surface.

The first research on wood acetylation was already conducted in the 1920s using wood meal, whereas relevant research on veneer acetylation was published nearly two decades later, during the 1940s. In the years that followed, a great deal of research has been done on both solid wood and composite acetylation. Developments in the 1990s and early 2000s resulted in the creation of commercial products. Nowadays, wood is becoming increasingly popular in construction. Therefore, high-performance materials with high dimensional stability and durability are required. Veneers are thereby of particular relevance because of their propensity to absorb chemicals into even tough-to-treat wood species. However, acetylation alters the bonding properties of wood, which is important for the manufacture of engineered veneer products, especially in load-bearing construction. A large amount of research is now being conducted on the acetylation of veneer, and acetylated veneer products are anticipated in the near future. This study covers the fundamentals of bonding but focuses specifically on veneer acetylation and its fabrication to engineered veneer-based products. The influencing factors of acetylation on bonding are also discussed."],["dc.description.sponsorship","Open-Access-Publikationsfonds 2022"],["dc.identifier.doi","10.3390/ma15103665"],["dc.identifier.pii","ma15103665"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/108612"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","DOI-Import GROB-572"],["dc.relation.eissn","1996-1944"],["dc.rights","CC BY 4.0"],["dc.title","Bonding Acetylated Veneer for Engineered Wood Products—A Review"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.subtype","original_ja"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
