Green Adhesion for the Built Environment - Ulva Seaweed as Wood Panel Adhesive

Explore innovative research on using Ulva seaweed as a green adhesive for wood panels in this 21-minute interview with Eleftheria Roumeli from the University of Washington. Discover how powdered Ulva creates a strong binding matrix between wood particles during hot-pressing, significantly enhancing the composite's elastic modulus and flexural strength compared to pure compressed wood. Learn about the potential applications of this eco-friendly adhesive in the built environment and its implications for sustainable materials science.
