Popis: To provide basic information on self-bonding in kenaf core binderless boards, a series of chemical analyses was conducted on binderless boards and their chemical changes during hot pressing were examined in our previous study. In this study, binderless boards were manufactured under conditions that may accelerate the supposed chemical changes to investigate their effect on the board properties. First, to investigate the influence of the chemical bonds formed by carbonyl compounds on self-bonding, the influence of acetic acid addition prior to board manufacturing was studied and the effect of methanol extractives (containing the carbonyl compounds) was also examined. Second, the influence of the condensation reaction in lignin was discussed from the viewpoint of board density. Last, to examine the influence of thermal softening of lignin, the influences of temperature condition and moisture content, as well as those of microwave pretreatment, were investigated. As a result, the estimated chemical changes were suggested to influence the binderless board properties.
