The utilization of low molecular weight phenol formaldehyde (LmwPF) resin as bulking agent to enhance the dimensional stability of wood brought some disadvantages, such as phenol is derived from non-renewable petrochemicals while formaldehyde is a known carcinogen. Hence, the possibility of using bu...
