Bonding Acetylated Veneer for Engineered Wood Products-A Review. [PDF]

Materials (Basel), 2022
The purpose of this review is to put previous research findings on acetylated wood and the fabrication of veneer-based products in a common context. 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.
