Abstract The study of adhesion in wood and wood-based products becomes increasingly important as work continues toward greater utilization of our total forest resources. The present quality of adhesively bonded wood products will be improved in order to achieve bond quality that harnesses the full strength of wood and, more importantly, leads to greatly enhanced bond durability. These goals will primarily be reached through developing a chemically-anchored bond interface and resin systems that are more flexible and compatible in the cured state. This paper presents a selected review of current findings and thought in the general field of surface and interfacial adhesion, and attempts to give a detailed look at efforts in wood science to understand basic phenomena of adhesion in wood and apply them in achieving a strong and durable bonded state. A brief introductory discussion on the nature of the basic forces involved in all interactions between materials at the atomic and molecular level is included. The general field of interfacial adhesion is reviewed in order to find important factors basic to the adhesion phenomena that have survived long, intensive research efforts in this field. Finally, an in-depth look is taken at interfacial adhesion in wood science.
