Penetration of urea-formaldehyde adhesives in wood tissue, part I: Radial penetration of UF adhesives into beech [PDF]
Adhesive penetration plays an important role in wood adhesion, since wood is a porous material. The degree of penetration mostly depends on the wood factors, resin type and formulation and processing parameters.

Structural and torsional properties of the Trachycarpus fortunei palm petiole [PDF]
The Trachycarpus fortunei palm is a good example of a palm with a large leaf blade supported by a correspondingly large petiole. The way in which the material and functional properties of the petiole interact is analysed using engineering and botanical ...

A Carbocation Substituted Clay and its Styrene nanocomposite [PDF]
A substituted tropylium ion can be ion-exchanged onto montmorillonite to give a novel organically-modified clay. One can prepare a polystyrene nanocomposite of this clay by emulsion, but not bulk, polymerization.
