Bark beckons for adhesives

Article Abstract:

Louisiana-Pacific and Ensyn Group Inc are developing bark-based adesives for use in the production of structural building materials, including plywood and oriented strand board, the most commonly used sheathing and roofing material. The project will focus on demonstrating the commercial feasibility of producing large quantities of bark-based adhesives at several test sites. Bark has a potential as a raw material for producing a less expensive substitute to the petroleum-based adhesives traditionally used in building products.

The "greening" of nylon

Article Abstract:

Heterogeneous catalysis is evaluated as a new approach for developing epsilon-caprolactam, a precursor to nylon 6. The method eliminates the need for the highly corrosive chemicals, reduces the amount of byproducts, and streamlines production by permitting a continuous process.
