Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on improving the performance of adhesive joints in engineering wood products, specifically using densified rubberwood.
- The densification process involved mechanical compression and polymer impregnation, along with surface sanding, which enhanced the wettability and ultimately increased the joint's glueline thickness.
- Results showed that joints made from densified rubberwood had a 40% higher shear strength compared to original rubberwood, and further density increases improved both shear strength and wood failure rates.
