Dissertations / Theses on the topic 'Urea-formaldehyde resins'

In a series ofpreIiminary studies of urea-formaldehyde reactions, the influence of the U:F molar ratio, the temperature and the catalyst were investigated. Subsequently, in a more rigorous evaluation of the influence of four variables on urea-formaldehyde resin formation, viz., U:F molar ratio, pH, temperature and reaction time, a set of twenty reactions were performed using a statistical approach. The results indicate that high resin viscosity is best achieved by using a high U:F molar ratio (1:2) and conducting the reaction at 90°C. Several basic components produced in urea-formaldehyde reactions have been synthesised, characterised by NMR spectroscopy, silylated using bis(trimethylsilyl)trifluoroacetamide and analysed by low resolution mass spectrometry. The use oftriazones as cross-linking agents has been investigated, and a series of 5-substituted triazones have been prepared and their mass fragmentation patterns explored using a combination of low and high resolution mass spectrometry. In order to facilitate interpretation of ¹³C NMR data obtained for U-F resins, internal rotation in various urea derivatives was investigated using variable temperature ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopic study. Signal splittings observed below 247 K have been rationalised in terms of various rotameric structures.

In this project, urea-formaldehyde (UF) resins were produced and investigated. UF resins are commonly used indoors as wood adhesives in, e.g. particle boards, in different furniture applications and flooring. UF resins are produced by alternating methylolation and condensation reactions, thus reacting urea and formaldehyde with each other and creating longer polymeric chains. The number of alternations, i.e. number of condensation reactions can be varied. The focus laid on the effect of the formaldehyde/urea molar ratio during synthesis. This includes the effect of the molar ratio on both the composition and structure and in turn their effect on the properties of the resin. UF resin was synthesized via two different methods. In method one, a reference adhesive was synthesized, this adhesive was produced using three condensation reactions. In method one, another resin was also produced using only two condensation reactions but with the same F/U molar ratios. In method two, only two condensations reactions were performed for each resin. In the start of the reaction, the F/U-molar ratio was varied in three different values. Towards the end, however, different amounts of urea were added to make sure that the final F/U-molar ration was kept constant. The results showed that the F/U molar ratio during synthesis will have an effect on both the composition of the resin and the structures being formed. With less urea added in the beginning as in the case with a high starting molar ratio, more dimethyl ether bridges and methylol groups, but less methylene bridges were formed in the end-product. This was formed together with a more branched UF structure with a higher polydispersity index. The reason for this probably originates from the more highly substituted amino groups formed due to the lower amount of urea in the beginning in the sample with a high F/U molar ratio. The composition and structure of the resin with a higher F/U molar ratio also seem to favor a stronger tensile strength. The increased amount of methylol groups and the increased PDI are thought to have a larger effect on the increased tensile strength. The shelf life of the finished resin also showed dependency with the F/U molar ratio, since resins produced with a low molar ratio gelled within 24h compared the two other variations of F/U ratios, where it took about 90 days to gel at the same temperature.

In this study, a series of denim fiberboards are fabricated using two different resins, malamine urea formaldehyde (MUF) and polymeric methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (pMDI). Two experimental design factors (1) adhesive content and (2) MUF-pMDI weight ratio, were studied. All the denim fiberboard samples were fabricated following the same resin blending, cold-press and hot-press procedures. The physical and mechanical tests were conducted on the fiberboard following the procedures described in ASTM D1037 to obtain such as modulus of elasticity (MOE), modulus of rupture (MOR), internal bond (IB), thickness swell (TS), and water absorption (WA). The results indicated that the MOE was significantly affected by both factors. IB was affected significantly by weight ratio of different glue types, with 17 wt% more MDI resin portion in the core layer of the denim boards, the IB for total adhesive content 15% fiberboard was enhanced by 306%, while for total adhesive content 25% fiberboard, enhanced by 205%. TS and WA, with higher adhesive content used in denim boards' fabrication, and more pMDI portion in the core layer of the boards, the boards' TS and WA was reduced by up to 64.2% and 78.8%, respectively.

Resumo: O desenvolvimento de estudos para produção de derivados de madeira tem representado uma real alternativa para contribuir as políticas de sustentabilidade, principalmente de espécies arbóreas nativas. Nesse contexto, o reaproveitamento de resíduos lignocelulósicos tem contribuído como uma alternativa para a produção industrial de painéis de madeira. Dentro desse contexto este trabalho se constitui do estudo para produção e avaliação de painéis aglomerados, empregando-se partículas de bagaço de cana-de-açúcar (Saccharum officinarum) e partículas de madeira de pinus (Pinus taeda; Pinus elliottii) e utilizando-se dois tipos de aglutinantes, o Poliuretano derivado do óleo de mamona (PU-M) e a Resina Ureia-formaldeído (UF). Para produção dos painéis foram propostos diferentes tratamentos com variações entre as proporções de massas das partículas, densidade nominal dos painéis de 0,80 g/cm3 e pressão de prensagem de 50 kgf/cm2 durante 10 min. As misturas de partículas foram utilizadas com 10% de umidade para o adesivo PU-M e 3% de umidade para a resina UF ambos com um conteúdo de 10% em relação à massa seca das partículas. Para prensagem dos painéis com PU-M empregou-se 100 ºC e para os painéis com UF 130 ºC. Os painéis foram submetidos a ensaios para avaliação das propriedades físicas (densidade, umidade e inchamento) e mecânicas (módulo de elasticidade, módulo de ruptura à flexão e tração perpendicular) de acordo com a ABNT NBR 14810-1 e 2 (2013). Os resultados obtidos evidenciara... (Resumo completo, clicar acesso eletrônico abaixo)
Abstract: The development of studies for the production of wood derivatives has represented a real alternative to improve sustainability policies, mainly of native tree species. In this context, the reuse of lignocellulosic waste has contributed as an alternative to the industrial production of wood panels. This way, this work aims to produce and evaluate chipboards using particles of sugarcane bagasse (Saccharum officinarum) and particles of pine wood (Pinus taeda; Pinus elliottii) and using two types of binders, the Polyurethane derived from castor oil (PU-Castor) and Urea formaldehyde resin (UF). Different treatments were proposed for the production of boards with variations between the particle mass ratios, panels’ nominal density of 0.80 g/cm3 and pressing pressure of 50 kgf/cm2 for 10 minutes. Particle mixtures were used at 10% moisture for the PU-Castor adhesive and 3% moisture for the UF resin both with a content of 10% relative to the dry mass of the particles. For the pressing of panels with PU-Castor was used 100 °C and of panels with UF was used 130 °C. The boards were submitted to tests to evaluate the physical properties (density, moisture and swelling after 24 hours) and mechanical (modulus of elasticity, modulus of resistance to bending and perpendicular traction) according to the ABNT NBR 14810-1 and 2 (2013). The results showed that it is possible to use particles from sugarcane bagasse and pine wood for high density chipboards production. It was found that the boards...

O presente trabalho apresenta uma alternativa para a minimização do descarte atual, crescente e inadequado do resíduo agronômico pena de galinha (Chicken Feather). Assim, foram estabelecidos parâmetros para gerar um novo produto, painéis de compósitos, com adição de resina ureia-formaldeído, visando verificar as propriedades e possibilidades de aplicação deste produto na construção civil. Ao longo do levantamento bibliográfico, notou-se que a pena de galinha é um tema ainda pouco explorado em pesquisas, traduzindo-se em uma lacuna a ser preenchida. Foi escolhida a resina ureia-formaldeído por ser um componente chave muito utilizado na indústria de chapas particuladas de madeira, o que facilitaria na avaliação comparativa de desempenho do novo compósito. Durante a realização da etapa experimental, constatando-se uma grande dificuldade na trituração das penas, optouse por usá-las inteiras. Ao final desta etapa, a qualidade física das chapas foi insuficiente para a produção dos corpos de prova necessários à realização dos ensaios de caracterização física e mecânica, sendo direcionado aos ensaios de desempenho térmico, para aplicação deste compósito como isolante térmico em edificações. Com a realização destes ensaios, constatou-se o potencial de adequação do material para esta aplicação. Comparados com materiais para isolamento térmico existentes no mercado, os painéis com pena de galinha apresentaram desempenho compatível, bloqueando cerca de 20ºC de temperatura entre uma face e outra. Desta forma, conclui-se que a pena de galinha é um resíduo agronômico com considerável potencial de aproveitamento na produção de painéis, para uso como material isolante térmico em componentes para construção civil.
The present work presents an alternative for the minimization of current, increasing and inadequate disposal of agronomic chicken feather residue. Thus, parameters were established to generate a new product, composite panels, with addition of ureaformaldehyde resin, in order to verify the properties and possibilities of application of this product in civil construction. Throughout the bibliographical survey, it was noticed that the feather of chicken is a subject still little explored in researches, translating into a lacuna to be filled. The urea-formaldehyde resin was chosen as a key component widely used in the wood particleboard industry, which would facilitate the comparative evaluation of the new composite performance. During the realization of the experimental stage, it was verified a great difficulty in the crushing of the feathers, it was chosen to use them whole. At the end of this stage, the physical quality of the panels was insufficient for the production of the test specimens necessary for the physical and mechanical characterization tests, being directed to the thermal performance tests, for the application of this composite as thermal insulation in buildings. With the accomplishment of these tests, it was verified the potential of suitability of the material for this application. Compared with existing insulation materials on the market, the panels with chicken feather showed compatible performance, blocking about 20ºC of temperature between one face and another. Thus, it is concluded that the chicken feather is an agronomic residue with considerable potential for use in the production of panels, for use as thermal insulation material in components for civil construction.

Lors de cette étude, j'ai effectué des recherches sur trois sortes d'assemblages du bois : les colles naturelles, les colles synthétiques et le soudage sans colles, ceci dans le but d'améliorer les performances de fabrication des panneaux de particules, des panneaux contreplaqués, des lamellés-collés et des composites. Dans ce travail, le contenu d'étude inclut les éléments suivants : 1) L'assemblage des panneaux semi-extérieurs ou extérieurs par les colles naturelles : Trois types différents de tannins (les tannins hydrolysables de châtaigniers, les tannins condensations de pin radiata et les tannins condensations de mimosa) sont étudiés. 2) L'assemblage des panneaux extérieurs par les colles synthétiques : Différents types d'additifs (le nanoargile, des précurseurs oligomériques de poly (amine-ester) et glutaraldéhyde) pour améliorer leurs performances. La résine MUF (Mélamine-Urée-Formaldéhyde) est obtenue sous forme de poudre par séchage d'atomisation ainsi sa durée de vie est potentiellement infinie.3) L'assemblage des panneaux extérieurs par soudage sans colles : Deux matériaux (l'huile et la lignine acétylée) pour améliorer les résistances à l'eau. Toutes les propriétés physico-chimiques et mécaniques ont été étudiées en mettant en oeuvre des techniques d'analyse et d'évaluation telles que la thermomécanique TMA, la cristallographie aux rayons X (XRD), la résonance magnétique nucléaire 13C RMN, la spectrométrie de masse MALDI-TOF, et la fabrication des panneaux en laboratoire. Finalement, nous avons amélioré les caractéristiques des panneaux avec les colles ou sans colles et spécifiquement la résistance à l'eau pour une utilisation extérieure
In this studied, wood based composites were assembled with the natural adhesive (tannin adhesive), the synthesis adhesive (MUF) and the welding wood without adhesive. These wood composites include particleboard, plywood and glulam. We focus on these works as follows: 1) Three different types of tannins (chestnut hydrolysable tannins, pine condensation tannins and mimosa condensation tannins) as thermosetting or cold-setting adhesive were studied to assemble particleboard, plywood and glulam for application to semi-exterior or exterior. 2) The characteristics of MUF resins for particleboard applications have been improved through a number of additives (nanoclay, hyperbranched polymer and glutaraldehyde), the powder adhesive of MUF was obtained by spray-drying technologies, and it could be prolonger the shelf-life of MUF adhesive. It also can be application to exterior after enhancing. 3) The blockboard for application exterior was assembling by welded dowels, two differents materials (sun flower oil and acetylated lignin) were used to improve the water resistance. These physical, chemical and mechanical properties of these assemblages was investigated by implementing some techniques such as thermomechanical analysis (TMA), X-ray diffraction (XRD), nuclear magnetic resonance (13C NMR), matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectroscometry (MALDI-TOF), and by manufacturing wood composites. Finally, the performances of these wood composites were apparent improved whether with the tannin adhesive, the MUF adhesive or the welding wood without adhesive, especially improved the water resistance of wood composites for exterior applications

Wettability phenomena is related to macroscopic manifestations of molecular interaction between liquids and solids interfaces. A better knowledge of these phenomena in wood is important to improve the capacity of interaction between wood and adhesives in applications involving gluing, because a good wettabilty is crucial for a good adhesion. The main objective of this work was to study the wettability of pine (Pinus Pinaster) and eucalypt (Eucalyptus Globulus), subjected to different treatments using urea-formaldehyde resins of different composition with the aim of improving bonding in the production of particleboard. Pine and eucalypt logs were collected at the wood-yard of a particleboard plant, including burned wood from forest fires, representing the major wood supply used in Portugal. Several wood samples were subjected to different treatments (over-drying, extraction with water and ageing under sunlight), similar to those of the industrial process. In a first approach, the surface tension of wood was determined using the acid-base theory and the influence of wood species and treatments on the total surface tension and Lifshitz-van der Waals (LW) and acid-base components was evaluated. Then, in order to compare the ability of three resin formulations for bonding wood of these species, measurements of contact angle of these resins and mechanical tests were carried out in fresh wood samples and in samples subjected to the treatments. The influence of several factors and levels on wettability and bond strength, were analysed using ANOVA: two species, sapwood/heartwood, burned/normal wood, three treatments and three commercial resins.

SUMMARY The core of this investigation was trying to apply the variables in the synthesis of the urea-phenol formaldehyde copolycondensation resins (UPF), for future use of bark extractives as a substitute for phenol. In this study, three types of UPF copolycondensation resins were synthesized ： UPF-A , a mixture of methylolurea and phenol； UPF-B, a mixture of methylolphenol and urea, and UPF-C, a mixture of methylolurea and methylolphenol. The results from the properties and DSC analysis are summarized as follows： For UPF-A copolycondensation resins , as lowering the pH in the second stage of synthesis, with viscosity decreased , and prolonged gelation time, its maximum temperature of exothermic peak and the heat of curing increased. When the increment of the amount of the phenol of the UPF-B and UPF-C copolycondensation resins, with shortened gelation time, its maximum temperature of exothermic peak would be decreased. To raise the hot-pressing temperature for all kinds of UPF copolycondensation resins, the bonding strength of plywood increased. The UPF-C copolycondensation resin had better bonding strength than the other ones. Copolycondensation resin synthesized with the molar ratio of U/P of 1/1 had the best bonding strength of plywood. When the hot-pressing temperature at 150℃ for 3.5 minutes(thickness 4㎜), the bonding strength of the UPF-C-5 copolycondensation resin was come up to the standard of CNS 1349 for type I plywood.
