Engineered wood produced with substituted cellulose ester adhesives and methods relating thereto

A particle board comprising:

• a plurality of wood substrates that independently comprise a lignin-containing material and independently have a form selected from the group consisting of a particulate, a chip, a dust, and a shaving, the plurality of wood substrates being adhered together with an adhesive that comprises a substituted cellulose ester that comprises a cellulose polymer backbone having an organic ester substituent and an inorganic ester substituent that comprises an inorganic, nonmetal atom selected from the group consisting of sulfur, phosphorus, boron, and chlorine.

A fiberboard comprising:

• a plurality of wood substrates that independently comprise a lignin-containing material and independently have a form selected from the group consisting of strand, fiber, and particulate, the plurality of wood substrates being adhered together with an adhesive that comprises a substituted cellulose ester that comprises a cellulose polymer backbone having an organic ester substituent and an inorganic ester substituent that comprises an inorganic, nonmetal atom selected from the group consisting of sulfur, phosphorus, boron, and chlorine.

An engineered wood comprising:

• a plurality of wood substrates that independently comprise a lignin-containing material, the plurality of wood substrates being adhered together with an adhesive that comprises a substituted cellulose ester that is crosslinked, the substituted cellulose ester comprising a cellulose polymer backbone having an organic ester substituent and an inorganic ester substituent that comprises an inorganic, nonmetal atom selected from the group consisting of sulfur, phosphorus, boron, and chlorine.
