7、CTION BY G.W.KOEHNI One of the most important questions arising when fabrication with an ad-hesive is being considered is the durabil-ity or permanence of the adhesive,or how long the joint will last and how the joint will stand up in service.Many of the adhesives now being used have been developed
8、within the past ten years,and consequently lack the background of many years of service typical of other materials of construction.Accelerated permanence tests are of such importance that Committee D-14 on Adhesives felt it desirable to review in a Symposium,in the light of field Research and Develo

11、T OF SPECIMEN STRUCTURE IN PERMANENCE TESTS ON WOOD ADHESIVES BY ROBERT P.HOPKINS1 SYNOPSIS An effort has been made to obtain specific data on the relationship between the apparent behavior of wood adhesives in permanence tests and the construc-tion of the test specimens.Outdoor exposure and laborat
12、ory water-immersion air-dry cycling procedures,with the aid of phenolic or resorcinol resins were used to study this relationship.Brief attention has also been given to recalling the interdependence of construction of plywood test specimens and maximum tensile shear strength,as established by the Fo
13、rest Products Laboratory years ago.Quantitative test data obtained show that wood species,nature of the wood construction,and size of the specimen have an important bearing on the ap-parent permanence of an adhesive.Small test specimens have been found to exhibit greater mechanical stressing on glue
14、lines than relatively larger speci-mens.Shortcomings of wood adhesive specifications lacking consideration of the variable of test specimen construction are noted.The information has led to the conclusion that greater emphasis should be attached to the construction of the test specimens in any effor
15、ts to interpret and develop test methods for wood adhesives.The tonnage quantities of wood ad-hesives consumed in industry at the present time have come about in spite of a lack of,rather than because of,highly-informative testing procedures.The co-incident rise of high polymer chemistry and that of
16、 an expanded wood industry,either as plywood or laminated wood,presents the basic explanation for current prominence of wood adhesives.But granted that great credit is due Baeke-land,for example,for his pioneering role in phenolics,and to John for his work on ureas,there can be little doubt that the guiding influence of intelligent 1 Group Leader,Adhesives Applications Group,Re-search Division,Rohm&Haas Co.,Philadelphia,Pa.test procedures is a must for the maxi-mum utilization of the discoveries
