In this study, a steam refining process, optimized earlier with respect to carbohydrate yield, was used to extract lignins from non-debarked poplar wood from short growth plantations by enzymatic hydrolysis (EHL) and alkaline extraction (AEL) for the utilization in lignin-phenol-formaldehyde resins (LPF). Three different pretreatment conditions were chosen at 190°C and 16min, 210°C and 15min and 200°C, 15min, 2.5% SO2. Characterization of the lignins revealed that the carbohydrate content decreased about 47% (210°C, 15min) to 58% (200°C, 15min, 2.5% SO2) with intensification of the pretreatment conditions. Furthermore, the average molecular weight and polydispersity increased. The chemical and physico-chemical properties of lignin-phenol-formaldehyde resins synthesized with these lignins were evaluated and gluebond performance was tested by the Automated Bonding Evaluation System (ABES). LPF resins with AEL and EHL (190°C, 16min) were used to produce particleboards. LPF resins with Organosolv lignin (OL) and Kraft lignin as well as neat PF resins served as references. The mechanical properties of these panels were evaluated. The results showed high dry (EHL: 0.64Nmm−2, AEL: 0.73Nmm−2) and wet internal bond strength (EHL: 0.21Nmm−2, AEL: 0.25Nmm−2) of LPF bonded particleboards. LPF resin with AEL fulfills the requirements for the relevant standard specifications P7 according to DIN EN 312:2010-12.
