•Micropillar compression accompanied by FEA simulation was applied to investigate the fracture of wood-adhesive interphase.•Yield strength of microscale wood-adhesive interphase was contingent with the interpenetrating polymer networks (IPNs).•A crack-dominated fracture mode was found when compressi...
