Abstract
AbstractThe primary goal of this research was to develop a waste protein based adhesive, and to optimize its lap shear strength under dry and wet conditions using Taguchi method. The feedstock for this work was specified risk material (SRM) that is considered the tissue potentially at risk of containing misfolded prions. SRM was hydrolyzed in accordance with government approved techniques and modified with a resin system to develop a renewable adhesive platform. Eight of the nine formulated adhesives met the minimum dry shear strength requirement of urea formaldehyde type adhesive, and three of the formulations also met the soak shear strength requirement. This work demonstrates a general valorization platform for the utilization of animal waste protein as a renewable adhesive feedstock.
