This book is dedicated to my (Dr. R. N. Kumar) son, the late Dr. Gopal Kumar who evinced keen interest in my endeavor to write the book.

The dramatic increase in the production of reconstituted wood products over the past 100 years has been made possible through the systematic development of new adhesives devised to meet the growing challenges of the times. Originally, large-diameter trees were available, but as their availability decreased, followed by a corresponding increase in price, the wood industry had to meet the challenge by attempting to use small-diameter trees and comminuted wood particles, fibers and pulp mill waste. This resulted in the development of reconstituted wood produced from the comminuted particles bound together with adhesives. This development had a significant impact on meeting challenges. The development of new types of adhesives—both synthetic petroleum-based adhesives as well as adhesives of natural origin—occurred during this period.
