Wood Liquefaction in the Presence of Phenol with a Weak Acid Catalyst and Its Potential for Novolac Type Wood Adhesives

Wood liquefaction was conducted using phenol as a reagent solvent with oxalic acid as a catalyst. A series of studies were done on liquefied wood, liquefied wood residues, novolac-type liquefied wood resins, and bio-composites fabricated from liquefied wood resin. The results of the liquefied wood r...
