Abstract
The paper presents an eco-friendly method for obtaining wood
composites, as an alternative to traditional fibreboard composite obtaining
processes. Our proposed method comprises two steps: namely, dissolving
wood in ionic liquids, followed by precipitation by water addition. The
precipitated cellulose and lignin act as a natural binder for the wood
particles thus avoiding the use of toxic organic resins as adhesives. The
obtained composites present good water stability and compressive
mechanical strength.
