Adhesion Fundamentals in Spotted Gum (Corymbia citriodora)
… not Gympie messmate. This suggests conventional kiln drying appears unsuitable for spotted gum while amenable for Gympie messmate. Spotted gum likely requires non-aqueous, low surface tension adhesives or aqueous adhesives formulated with surface active wetting agents. Water-saturation (followed …

… stress wave velocity (Viscan-Microtec) 4). After kiln drying, the required boards (approximately 840) were subjected to non-destructive measurements of their physical properties (density, humidity, defects etc.) using the machine purposely developed by Microtec. The aim was the calibration of this …
