UMaine Scientists Developing Green Adhesive Made of CNF, as Well as a Plant to Produce Large Quantities of Wood-Based Fibers
University of Maine researchers have been awarded $700,000 to develop eco-friendly particleboard panels with adhesive made of cellulose nanofibrils (CNF), as well as design a commercial-scale plant to manufacture the CNF. With one $350,000 grant, UMaine scientists Mehdi Tajvidi, William Gramlich, Doug Bousfield, Doug Gardner and Mike Bilodeau, as well as John Hunt from the read more UMaine Scientists Developing Green Adhesive Made of CNF, as Well as a Plant to Produce Large Quantities of Wood-Based Fibers
