Grigorious (1998) found that mixing an UF
adhesive with a MDI adhesive improves the quality of the straw particleboard. This
resulted from a higher bond-forming ability in MDI adhesive which improved the
distribution of adhesive within particles (Li et al. 2013). With the higher public
sensitivity to the release of formaldehyde in traditional furniture particleboard, the
production of healthier and more environmentally friendly particleboard without
formaldehyde has become highly desirable (Wang et al. 2006).
