Influence of Activated Charcoal as Filler on the Properties of Wood Composites

In the present work a small percentage of activated charcoal was added in the thermosetting urea–formaldehyde (UF) resin and the performance of adhesives and wood composite was observed. The effect of activated charcoal on the curing kinetics and the Crosslink density of UF resin was investigated, u...
