Abstract

various industries, including electrical microchannels, engines, spacecraft,nuclear, and solar energy. Nanofluids are created by floating small nanoparticlesin base fluids such as water or ethylene glycol, with or without stabilizingmethods. The typical size of nanoparticles is less than 100 nm2. Nanofluidthermosetting adhesives have the advantages of enhanced bonding strength,improved thermal conductivity, and reduced curing time. These qualities mightimprove the performance of thermosetting adhesives, which harden or set whenheated. However, the creation of such adhesives would necessitate variousdisadvantages, such as high cost of production and potential health andenvironmental risks. Understanding the physicochemical mechanism of usingnanofluids in the adhesive would be critical. This would include examining theeffects of particle size, shape, surfactant, temperature, etc. on thermalconductivity. While developing nanofluid thermosetting adhesives offers greatopportunities, it also requires overcoming several technical hurdles. Further studyin this area may lead to the creation of adhesives with improved thermal andadhesive qualities. Applications of nanofluid adhesives might cover a broad areaof the wood industry, particularly furniture manufacturing and wooden flooring.This study reviewed possible methods of synthesizing, characterization, andapplications of nanofluid thermosetting adhesives for wood-based composites.

Abstract

Cascading is a principle that enhances resource efficiency by utilizing wastes andrecycled materials to maximize total biomass availability within a specific system.It adheres to the principles of a circular economy by minimizing waste andmitigating the environmental effects of wood-based composites. The cascading ofwood is a method that prioritizes sequential and multiple utilizations of wood tooptimize its lifecycle prior to final disposal or energy recovery. This brief reviewexamines the basics of wood cascading and its advantages for enhancing resourceefficiency, diminishing environmental impact, and advancing circular economyobjectives by reducing waste and maximizing material value. This brief reviewclearly delineates the limitations and issues encountered by wood cascading. Thefuture of wood cascade presents significant opportunities for enhancing resourceefficiency and reducing environmental impacts.
