To broaden the variety of thermoplastic plywood, reduce the hot-press temperature, and save energy consumption, an ethylene\u2013vinyl acetate (EVA) film was selected as a wood adhesive to manufacture a novel wood\u2013plastic composite plywood via hot-press and secondary press processes. The effects of the hot-press and secondary press processes at different levels on the physical\u2013mechanical properties of EVA plywood (tensile shear strength, 24 h water absorption, and immersion peel performance) were evaluated. The results showed that the properties of the resulting plywood using the EVA film as an adhesive could meet the type III plywood standard. The optimum hot-press time was 1 min\/mm, the hot-press temperature was 110\u2013120 \u00b0C, the hot-press pressure was 1 MPa, the dosage film was 163 g\/m2, the secondary press time was 5 min, the secondary press pressure was 0.5 MPa, and the secondary press temperature was 25 \u00b0C. EVA plywood can be used in indoor environments.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/polym15081834","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,10]],"date-time":"2023-04-10T03:19:54Z","timestamp":1681096794000},"page":"1834","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":24,"title":["Fabrication and Characterization of EVA Resins as Adhesives in Plywood"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0003-5382-488X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yu","family":"Zhang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Furnishings and Industrial Design, Nanjing Forestry University, Nanjing 210037, China"},{"name":"Co-Innovation Center of Efficient Processing and Utilization of Forest Resources, Nanjing Forestry University, Nanjing 210037, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ye","family":"He","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Furnishings and Industrial Design, Nanjing Forestry University, Nanjing 210037, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jiayan","family":"Yu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Furnishings and Industrial Design, Nanjing Forestry University, Nanjing 210037, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yuxin","family":"Lu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Furnishings and Industrial Design, Nanjing Forestry University, Nanjing 210037, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xinhao","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Furnishings and Industrial Design, Nanjing Forestry University, Nanjing 210037, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1331-7966","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lu","family":"Fang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Furnishings and Industrial Design, Nanjing Forestry University, Nanjing 210037, China"},{"name":"Co-Innovation Center of Efficient Processing and Utilization of Forest Resources, Nanjing Forestry University, Nanjing 210037, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"19","article-title":"Preparation and application of formaldehyde-free adesives from biomass feedstock","volume":"23","author":"Duan","year":"2016","journal-title":"China Wood-Based Panels"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"121","DOI":"10.1007\/s00107-008-0277-x","article-title":"Effects of formaldehyde\/urea mole ratio and melamine content on the hydrolytic stability of cured urea-melamine-formaldehyde resin","volume":"67","author":"Park","year":"2009","journal-title":"Eur.
