MUF-n-Octadecane Phase-Change Microcapsules: Effects of Core pH and Core–Wall Ratio on Morphology and Thermal Properties of Microcapsules [PDF]
Phase change energy storage microcapsules were synthesized in situ by using melamine-formaldehyde–urea co-condensation resin (MUF) as wall material, n-octadecane (C18) as core material and styryl-maleic anhydride copolymer (SMA) as emulsifier.

Crack-Resistant Amino Resin Flame-Retardant Coatings Using Waterborne Polyurethane as a Co-Binder Resin [PDF]
Surface cracking is a major issue in amino resin-based flame-retardant coatings, which can be reduced by mixing flexible resins into the coatings. In this study, flexible waterborne polyurethane (WPU) was added into a melamine-modified, urea-formaldehyde,

A Natural Lignification Inspired Super‐Hard Wood‐Based Composites with Extreme Resilience [PDF]
Super‐hard wood‐based composites (WBC) are designed and developed inspired by the mesoscale homogeneous lignification process intrinsic to tree growth. This innovative hybrid structure is achieved by leveraging the infusion of low‐molecular‐weight phenol formaldehyde resin into the cell walls of thin wood slices, followed by a unique multi‐layer ...

Bioavailable Dissolved Organic Carbon Serves as a Key Regulator of Phosphorus Dynamics in Stream Biofilms [PDF]
We tested the effect of bioavailable DOC on P entrapment in biofilms and in biofilm P‐regulation mechanisms such as polyphosphate accumulation and alkaline phosphatase activity in semi‐natural experimental flumes. Our results show that intracellular P entrapment is limited by bioavailable DOC, while extracellular P entrapment is independent of ...

Influence of MUF resin condensation degree on adhesive bond properties
Melamine-urea-formaldehyde resins with their excellent properties, in particular resistance to humidity and water and colourless adhesive bond, are widely used in the wood industry. In spite of the fact that the basic reaction between melamine and formaldehyde has been known for over seventy years, the conditions of synthesis and molar ratios continue ...

Finger-jointing of acetylated Scots pine using a conventional MUF resin
Acetylation of wood is a modification technique that chemically alters the wood substance and enhances several properties of wood. The basic principle is to impregnate wood with acetic anhydride to react and replace OH-groups with acetyl groups in the wood cell wall.
