Sumario:The mechanical properties of cured wood adhesive films were tested in a dry state by means of nanoindentation. These studies have found that the application of adhesives have an effect on the accuracy of the hardness and elastic modulus determination. The highest values of hardness among the tested adhesives at 20 °C have condensation resins: MF (0.64 GPa) and RPF (0.52 GPa). Then the decreasing EPI (0.43 GPa), PUR (0.23 GPa) and PVAc (0.14 GPa) adhesives. The values of the elastic modulus look a little bit different. The highest values among the tested adhesives at 20 °C have EPI (11.97 GPa), followed by MF (10.54 GPa), RPF (7.98 GPa), PVAc (4.71 GPa) and PUR (3.37 GPa). X-ray micro-computed tomography was used to evaluate the adhesive joint by the determination of the voids. It has been proven that this value depends on the type of adhesive, glue quantity and reactivity. The highest values of the void ratio achieve the PUR (17.26%) adhesives, then PVAc (13.97%), RRF (6.88%), MF (1.78%) and EPI (0.03%). The ratio of the gaps increases with the higher joint thickness. A too high proportion of voids may weaken the adhesive joint.
