The results demonstrated that the flame-retardant treatment using phosphorus\u2013nitrogen\u2013boron compounds endowed the LBL with excellent flame retardancy and smoke suppression properties, even though the bending strength and bond shear strength were slightly reduced. The PF-glued LBL exhibited superior mechanical and shear properties to the MUF-glued ones, primarily due to its higher processing temperature and deeper adhesive penetration. In addition, the MUF-glued flame-retardant LBL displayed better heat release reduction and smoke suppression properties than the PF-glued LBL, which resulted from the synergistic flame retardancy between the melamine element in MUF and the applied flame retardant. The analysis of the influence of adhesive type on the mechanical and fire properties of flame-retardant LBL holds significant importance for the future design and production of high-performance LBL material.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/polym16060781","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,12]],"date-time":"2024-03-12T12:17:16Z","timestamp":1710245836000},"page":"781","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["Mechanical and Fire Properties of Flame-Retardant Laminated Bamboo Lumber Glued with Phenol Formaldehyde and Melamine Urea Formaldehyde Adhesives"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Ying","family":"He","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biomaterials, International Centre for Bamboo and Rattan, Beijing 100102, China"},{"name":"SFA and Beijing Co-Built Key Laboratory of Bamboo and Rattan Science & Technology, State Forestry, Administration, Beijing 100102, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7337-1596","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xiaobei","family":"Jin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biomaterials, International Centre for Bamboo and Rattan, Beijing 100102, China"},{"name":"SFA and Beijing Co-Built Key Laboratory of Bamboo and Rattan Science & Technology, State Forestry, Administration, Beijing 100102, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2324-0501","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jingpeng","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of High Efficient Processing of Bamboo of Zhejiang Province, China National Bamboo Research Center, Hangzhou 310012, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Daochun","family":"Qin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sanya Research Base, International Centre for Bamboo and Rattan, Sanya 572000, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"161","DOI":"10.1007\/s00107-016-1074-6","article-title":"Combustion performance of engineered bamboo from cone calorimeter tests","volume":"75","author":"Xu","year":"2016","journal-title":"Eur.
