- Objective
- The proposed research will attempt to understand the interaction among soy flour, MDI, and water during hot pressing wood strands. We have been able to substitute about 12% soy flour in MDI resin but deterioration in wet properties have limited our ability to reach a higher substitution level. An understanding of this fundamental interaction is needed if we are to increase our substitution level to the >20% target requested by industry.This research will also strive to substitute MDI with soy flour so as to a) reduce cost b) maintain or improve performanceand c) increase sustainability
