US-Poland MSC Joint Fund Research on Nontoxic Particleboardsfrom Annual Plants Wastes Glued with U-F Resins

这个由美国天然纤维研究所的Ryszard Kozlowski博士和华盛顿州立大学的Tom Maloney博士组成的美国-波兰联合基金项目的主要目标是研究如何利用一些一年一度的植物废弃物来生产刨花板。研究人员还将对能够降低甲醛排放的尿素-甲醛树脂进行研究。拟议的研究将为在一年生植物废料和改性尿素-甲醛树脂的基础上生产一种甲醛排放量较低的新型刨花板提供新的知识。这个材料项目实现了推进科学知识的计划目标，使美国和波兰的顶尖专家能够在平等、互惠和互利的基础上，在共同感兴趣和能力强的领域结合互补的努力和能力。

The primary objective of this US-Polish Joint Fund project between Dr. Ryszard Kozlowski of the Institute of Natural Fibers and Dr. Tom Maloney of the Washington State University is to research use of some annual plants wastes for production of particleboards. The researchers will also perform research on urea-formaldehyde resin that allows lowering of formaldehyde emmissions. The proposed research will provide new knowledge of a production of a new class of particleboards with lowered formaldehyde emission on the basis of annual plants wastes and modified urea-formaldehyde resins. This project in materials fulfills the program objectives of advancing scientific knowledge by enabling leading experts in the U.S. and Poland to combine complementary efforts and capabilities in areas of strong mutual interest and competence on the basis of equality, reciprocity, and mutuality of benefit.
