Abstract
The objective of this study was to evaluate X−ray mass attenuation coefficients (MACs) for some common wood adhesives in the tube voltage range from 15 kV to 100 kV. Cured blocks of 10 common wood adhesives were made and their X−ray radiographs were taken with the tube voltage range of 15−100 kV. The ratio of the MAC of each wood adhesive to that of wood was determined. Regarding water-based polymer-isocyanate adhesive, polychloroprene rubber adhesive, phenol-formaldehyde resin adhesive and polymethylene polyphenylene polyisocyanate adhesive, the MAC ratio varies depending on X−ray tube voltage. The variation may lead to the acquisition of adhesive-weighed radiographs suitable for observing adhesive in wood-based materials. It may also enable a dual-energy X−ray absorptiometry for determining the amount of adhesive in wood-based materials.
