combat the loss of natural and agricultural ...
Bio based phenolic resins and adhesives derived from forestry residues wastes and lignin
(2012-11-10)
The work presented here aims to produce bio-phenolic compounds from forestry biomass (residues, wastes and lignin), and substitute petroleum-based phenol with the bio-phenolic compounds to produce high quality bio-based ...
