Abstract
The mechanism of adhesion of phenolic resins to cellulosic and lignocellulosic fibers has been explored using a nonpolymerizable bromine-labelled benzyl alcohol as a model for the adhesive. Bromine analysis by neutron activation techniques is sufficiently sensitive to show that reaction occurs much more extensively with the lignified fibers. This is attributed to the formation of covalent linkages between the model adhesive and the guaiacyl units in the lignin. The excellent general performance of phenolic adhesives on cellulose and lignocellulosic substrates can therefore be in part ascribed to the existence of high enthalpy covalent chemical bonds between adherend and adhesive.Keywords
