2 Outline Introduction Methodology Results Conclusions Acknowledgement 6/20/2010 FPS, 2010, Y.Zhao, U of T 2

3 Introduction Bark Materials Waste residue used as hog fuel or dispose without recovery Low heating value Renewable biomass, low carbon footprints No impact on human and animal feed system Similarity in composition to wood, except extractives, polyphenol, and suberin Good Candidate for higher value applications 6/20/2010 FPS, 2010, Y.Zhao, U of T 3

4 Adhesive Application of Biomass Lignin, bark, bark extractives as a replacement of petroleum-based phenol to synthesize PF resins Feasibility demonstrated in previous studies Inconsistency in performance due to low reactivity and high variability in structures Chemical modification e.g. liquefaction or phenolation However, Curing behavior & curing kinetics Bark from Beetle infested trees 6/20/2010 FPS, 2010, Y.Zhao, U of T 4

8 Methodology Bark powder (BI, GP) Phenolation Residue filtered by Whattman Millipore. Oven dry Phase separation Adhesive synthesis and Characterization (TGA, DSC, Lap- shear test) BI: Mountain Pine Beetle infested lodgepole pine bark; GP: Non-infested lodgepole pine bark 6/20/2010 FPS, 2010, Y.Zhao, U of T 8

9 Adhesive Synthesis Liquefied lodgepole pine bark (150, Solvent/bark=3, 120min, 3%catalyst) Formaldehyde (37%) Sodium hydroxide (40%, 1/3 of total weight) Reaction temperature 65, kept for 10 min 2/3 of NaOH was added and reaction temperature increased to 85 kept for 60min Lab PF and commercial PF as comparison. 6/20/2010 FPS, 2010, Y.Zhao, U of T 9

10 Adhesive Characterization Mw, Mn and Mw/Mn were measured by MALDI/TOF/TOF. Dynamic DSC scans were made with the heating rates of 5 /min,10 /min, 15 /min, 20 /min, respectively. Kissinger method was applied to calculated the activation energy. Isothermal DSC scans were made at 110, 120, 130, 140, 150, respectively. TGA of cured resins with heating rate of 10 /min, from room temperature to 700, N 2 atmosphere. 6/20/2010 FPS, 2010, Y.Zhao, U of T 10

BWT/Wet: specimens were boiled in water for 4h, dried for 20h at 63 ± ±2,boiled in water again for 4h, then cooled down with tap water and for test. 6/20/2010 FPS, 2010, Y.Zhao, U of T 25

26 Conclusions Bark-derived PF resins have larger Mw, PI and shorter gel time. All the resins exhibit both n-th order and autocatalytic cure mechanism. The post curing thermal stability of the BPF resins was similar to Lab PF but differed significantly from commercial PF resins. BPF resins showed highest wet bonding strengths. Beetle infestation was shown to have no negative effect on the bonding properties of the BPF resins. Bark from the mountain pine beetle infested lodgepole pine is a suitable material to partly replace phenol to synthesize phenolic resins. 6/20/2010 FPS, 2010, Y.Zhao, U of T 26
