Abstract

In this study the effect of plasma treatment at atmospheric pressure of wood veneers on the curing behaviour of a PVAc adhesive was investigated. Time-dependent shear bond strength tests on untreated and plasma-treated maple (Acer pseudoplanatus), oak (Quercus sp.), beech (Fagus sylvatica) and teak (Tectona grandis) veneers were carried out. The results confirm that plasma treatment accelerated curing of the PVAc adhesive on the wood veneers.
