Abstract
Cured urea formaldehyde (UF) and melamine urea formaldehyde (MUF) adhesives present in core and surface layers of particle boards were mechanically characterised in-situ by means of nanoindentation. Comparing results between investigated adhesives showed differences in micro-mechanical properties particularly in the core layers, while mechanical properties in surface layers did not differ significantly from each other. The method presented in this study demonstrates that in-situ characterisation of adhesives within a particle board cross section is feasible.
