To accelerate the development of new and improved wood adhesives for engineered wood products, the optimal penetration of adhesives into wood needs to be determined. Adhesive penetration includes both the flow of adhesives into wood micron-scale voids and the infiltration into the polymer components of the wood cell wall layers. In this work, X-ray computed tomography (XCT) and X-ray fluorescence microscopy (XFM) were used to study adhesive flow and infiltration. Model wood-adhesive bondlines were made using loblolly pine (Pinus taeda) latewood substrates and bromine-substituted phenol formaldehyde (BrPF) resins with different weight average molecular weight (M_W). The Br substitution facilitated both qualitative and quantitative observations using XCT and XFM. The BrPF resin flow into wood was visualized using XCT volume reconstructions and quantified by calculating the weighted penetration (WP). Examination of the shape of the cured BrPF-air interface in longitudinal tracheid lumina revealed that capillary played a role in the majority of BrPF flow into lumina. XFM mapping revealed the pathways of BrPF infiltration into the wood cell walls, and the results were used to calculate BrPF cell wall weight percent gain (WPG_CW) in individual wood cell wall layers. Both WP and WPG_CW decreased with increasing BrPF M_W. Also, the middle lamella had higher WPG_CW than its neighboring secondary cell walls, and within a given bondline the WPG_CW decreased with increasing distance of the cell from the bondline. Along these lines, the results provide new insights that are needed in the development of improved models to understand and predict wood adhesive bondline performance.
