AbstractResole phenolic resins are widely used for gluing wood structures. Solid state13C‐NMR and wide angle X‐ray scattering experiments show that a typical resole adhesive disrupts some of the crystallinity of the cellulose. Several explanations are offered for this observation. It is possible that this effect is connected with the adhesive action of the phenolic polymer. If this is so, then measurements of the type described here could be used to understand the adhesion better and to develop better wood gl
