Ultrasonication Technique: A Method for Dispersing Nanoclay in Wood Adhesives
The efficiency of ultrasonication technique to disperse nanoclay in polyvinyl acetate (PVA) was examined. A hydrophilic nanoclay was added to PVA, and its effects on bond strength of wood joints were determined. The results of bond strength measured on block shear tests showed that nanoclay increase...
