| More efficient and effective WBP- manufacturing |
 |
Contact heating as done in WBP- manufacturing is a very inefficient way to bring the heat for lignin softening and adhesive curing into a mat of woodparticles.
Polycondensation adhesives generally are ineffective glues, because they adhere only physically on the wood surface and because the condensates disrupt already built bonds.
Therefore a better physics of heating and a better chemistry of bonding is needed urgently. |

| Overall Ranking: |
| Ranking*: | 5 | | *) Explanation | The rank denotes the importance the voters have attached to a topic. A small rank indicates great importance. The following code is used to calculate the rank: For each vote points are given according to the importance of the topic denoted by the voter (5 points for "essential", 1 point for "slight interest"). To reduce the weight of old votes those votes older than 1 year (2 years) are multiplied by the factor 0.5 (0.25). Votes older than 3 years are not counted anymore. |
