專題作業(2007A) Development and Commercial Application of Environmentally Friendly Adhesives for Wood Composites 翻譯： 環保型膠黏劑對木質複合材的開發與商業應用 Innovation and Benefits:?Adhesives used in manufacturing plywood and other wood composites often contain formaldehyde, which is toxic. Professor Kaichang Li of Oregon State University, Columbia Forest Products, and Hercules Incorporated developed an alternate adhesive made from soy flour. Their environmentally friendly adhesive is stronger than and cost-competitive with conventional adhesives. During 2006, Columbia used the new, soy-based adhesive to replace more than 47 million pounds of conventional formaldehyde-based adhesives. 翻譯： 創新與優點：膠黏劑使用於工業合板和其他木質複合材上通常含有甲醛，是有毒的。俄勒岡州大學的李開常教授、哥倫比亞-福斯特-Product和海格力斯公司開發一個由大豆粉製造來取代交黏劑。他們的環保膠黏劑與傳統的膠黏劑比起來具有強大的成本競爭力。在2006年這段期間，哥倫比亞利用這項新技術，以大豆基膠黏劑來取代超過四千百萬磅的甲醛基膠黏劑。 Since the 1940s, the wood composites industry has been using synthetic adhesive resins to bind wood pieces into composites, such as plywood, particleboard, and fiberboard. The industry has been the predominate user of formaldehyde-based adhesives such as phenol–formaldehyde and urea–formaldehyde (UF) resins. Formaldehyde is a probable human carcinogen. The manufacture and use of wood composite panels bonded with formaldehyde-based resins release formaldehyde into the air, creating hazards for both workers and consumers. 翻譯： 自從1940年起，木質複合材行業已經在使用合成膠黏性樹脂，將木材黏於複合材中，例如：膠合板、碎料板和纖維板。甲醛基膠黏劑在這些行業已經佔大多數使用者了，例如：苯酚-甲醛和尿素-甲醛樹脂。甲醛很可能是人類的致癌物質。使用木質複合材嵌板與甲醛基樹脂結合的製品會釋放出甲醛於空氣中，對工人與消費者們兩者產生危害。 Inspired by the superior properties of the protein that mussels use to adhere to rocks, Professor Li and his group at Oregon State University invented environmentally friendly wood adhesives based on abundant, renewable soy flour. Professor Li modified some of the amino acids in soy protein to resemble those of mussels’ adhesive protein. Hercules Incorporated provided a critical curing agent and the expertise to apply it to commercial production of plywood. 翻譯：
