MUF Resins Improved by Citric Acid as Adhesives for Wood Veneer Panels

This article presents the first applied results of using citric acid in combinations with a melamine-urea-formal-dehyde(MUF)resin for bonding wood veneers.The chemical reactions involved are shown based on a MALDI ToF analysis of the reaction of the MUF resin with citric acid.The preliminary results of the physical and mechanical properties of the LVL prepared are also presented.Veneers from Populus sp were used to manufacture 5-layer laminated veneer lumber(LVL)of small dimensions.Five combinations of the amount of citric acid,MUF spread rate and pressing parameters were tested.LVL bonded with 20%of citric acid+100 g/m^(2)of MUF,hot-pressed using a 3-step process with maximum 1.5 MPa of pressure yielded the board with better dimensional stability and mechanical properties.It could be concluded that citric acid in combination with MUF can be used for bonding wood veneer and the research should be continued to study further the parameters involved and to enhance the results.

The retention mechanism of monocarboxylic acids on a cation-exchange resin column was investigated.

Role of bile acids in the regulation of the metabolic pathways

Recent studies have revealed that bile acids(BAs)are not only facilitators of dietary lipid absorption but also important signaling molecules exerting multiple physiological functions.Some major signaling pathways involving the nuclear BAs receptor farnesoid X receptor and the G protein-coupled BAs receptor TGR5/M-BAR have been identified to be the targets of BAs.BAs regulate their own homeostasis via signaling pathways.BAs also affect diverse metabolic pathways including glucose metabolism,lipid metabolism and energy expenditure.This paper suggests the mechanism of controlling metabolism via BA signaling and demonstrates that BA signaling is an attractive therapeutic target of the metabolic syndrome.

Several kinds of novel chelating resins bearing the functional group of tartaric acid (TTA-FQ-12, TTA-FQ-23, and TTA-FQ-34) were synthesized by reacting epoxy maleic anhydride, which was prepared through the oxidization reaction of maleic anhydride by hydrogen peroxide, with phenol-formaldehyde resin containing polyamine (FQ resins series). The effects of such factors as reaction time, reaction temperature and pH value on the loading capacity of TTA in resins were investigated. The results showed that the optimum reaction conditions are as follows: time 9-12 h; temperature 90-105'C; pH value 6-10. The loading capacities of TTA can reach 0.15, 0.14, and 0.11 mmol/g-1 when the functional group of FQ resin was - OCH2CH2NHC2H4NH2, - O(CH2CH2NH)2C2H4NH2 and - O(CH2CH2NH)3C2H4NH2), respectively. The structures of resins were characterized by FTIR spectra. The primary study on the adsorption properties of the resins for metal ions showed that there are two kinds of adsorption mechanisms i.e. ion exchange and chelate in the adsorption process. TTA-FQ resins have much higher adsorption selectivity for Pb2+and Zn2+ than for Cu2+ and Ni2+. These resins can probably be used for separating Pb2+ or Zn2+ in the mixture of metal ions or for treating wastewater containing heavy metal ions.
