In recent years, the importance and diversity of bio-based adhesives for industrial applications has grown steadily. This article focuses on the production and characterization of insulation panels consisting of peat moss and two bio-based adhesives. The panels were pressed with tannin and animal-based resins and compared to panels bonded with urea formaldehyde. The physical\u2013mechanical properties, namely, thermal conductivity (TC), water vapor diffusion resistance, modulus of rupture (MOR), modulus of elasticity (MOE), internal bond (IB), compression resistance (CR), water absorption (WA) and thickness swelling (TS) were measured and analyzed. The results show that the insulation effectiveness and mechanical stability of moss panels bound with tannin and animal glue are comparable to standard adhesives used in the composite industry.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ma15093299","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,4]],"date-time":"2022-05-04T10:49:30Z","timestamp":1651661370000},"page":"3299","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Physical-Mechanical Properties of Peat Moss (Sphagnum) Insulation Panels with Bio-Based Adhesives"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Marco Claudius","family":"Morandini","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department for Forest Products Technology and Timber Construction, Salzburg University of Applied Sciences, Markt 136a, 5431 Kuchl, Austria"},{"name":"Salzburg Center for Smart Materials, c\/o Department of Chemistry and Physics of Materials, Paris Lodron University of Salzburg, Jakob-Haringer-Strasse 2a, 5020 Salzburg, Austria"},{"name":"Department of Wood Science and Technology, Mendel University, Zem\u011bd\u011blsk\u00e1 3, 61300 Brno, Czech Republic"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"G\u00fcnther","family":"Kain","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department for Forest Products Technology and Timber Construction, Salzburg University of Applied Sciences, Markt 136a, 5431 Kuchl, Austria"},{"name":"Department for Wood Restoration Technology, Higher Technical College Hallstatt, Lahnstra\u00dfe 69, 4830 Hallstatt, Austria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jonas","family":"Eckardt","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department for Forest Products Technology and Timber Construction, Salzburg University of Applied Sciences, Markt 136a, 5431 Kuchl, Austria"},{"name":"Salzburg Center for Smart Materials, c\/o Department of Chemistry and Physics of Materials, Paris Lodron University of Salzburg, Jakob-Haringer-Strasse 2a, 5020 Salzburg, Austria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alexander","family":"Petutschnigg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department for Forest Products Technology and Timber Construction, Salzburg University of Applied Sciences, Markt 136a, 5431 Kuchl, Austria"},{"name":"Salzburg Center for Smart Materials, c\/o Department of Chemistry and Physics of Materials, Paris Lodron University of Salzburg, Jakob-Haringer-Strasse 2a, 5020 Salzburg, Austria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jan","family":"Tippner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Wood Science and Technology, Mendel University, Zem\u011bd\u011blsk\u00e1 3, 61300 Brno, Czech Republic"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"May, N., Guenther, E., and Haller, P.
