Development of Self-Cross-Linked Soy Adhesive by Enzyme Complex from Aspergillus niger for Production of All-Biomass Composite Materials

With rising environmental and human health concerns, the development of wood adhesives has shifted from petrochemical feedstocks to low-cost biobased feedstocks. Here we report a novel approach to ...

Utilization of Slaughterhouse Waste in Value-Added Applications: Recent Advances in the Development of Wood Adhesives.

Globally, slaughterhouses generate large volumes of animal byproducts. While these byproducts are an important resource of industrial protein that could potentially be utilized in various value-added applications, they are currently either underutilized in high-value applications or being used for production of relatively low-value products such as animal feed and pet food. Furthermore, some of the byproducts of animal slaughtering cannot enter food and feed chains and thus their disposal possesses a serious environmental concern. An innovative utilization of the proteinaceous waste generated by slaughterhouses comprises of waste processing to extract proteins, which are then incorporated into industrial processes to produce value-added bio-based products. In this report, we review the current processes for extraction of protein from proteinaceous waste of slaughterhouses, and utilization of the recovered protein in the development of protein-based wood adhesives.

State of research and trends in development of wood adhesives

We aim to present an overview of the status of adhesives in the wood industry, especially in the area of wood-based panels. The review summarizes the current state of research of two kinds of adhesives, i.e., synthetic adhesives and natural adhesives. Synthetic adhesives, consisting of urea-formaldehyde resins (UF), phenol-formaldehyde resins (PF), polyvinyl acetate emulsion (PVAc) and isocyanates, are widely used. For UF, most investigations are concerned with the reduction of free formaldehyde; for PF, most studies focus on finding new chemicals to replace phenol. PVAc has poor properties, but these can be improved by a blending reactions and copolymerization with other chemicals. Isocyanate is an environmentally friendly synthetic adhesive, but also suffers from inadequate properties. Natural adhesives, such as protein/starch, lignin and tannins, have poor bonding effect that limits their level of use, but their main advantages are that they are environmentally friendly and a renewable resource. Studies of modification can improve the bonding performances and gradually cause natural adhesives to become applied in industrial production. Some proposals for future development and the importance of environmentally friendly adhesives are provided, which will be helpful in future theoretical and experimental research.

Development of wood adhesives using flavonoid‐glycosides from orange mesocarp

Condensation products of orange mesocarp extract (flavonoid‐glycosides) and formaldehyde were modified with phenol, cashewnut shell liquid and resorcinol respectively. The copolymer resins formed were used in the formulation of wood adhesives. The glued veneers were evaluated for their shear strength and percentage wood failure assessed. The results showed that the adhesives cured to give gluelines of considerable strength and durability.

Development of Wood Adhesives and Gluing Technique

Abstract Study of adhesives used in furniture and other relics of earlier civilizations yields little of value to present-day craftsmanship. This paper therefore discusses only the more recent developments in glues and the technique of using them. While some glues were of ancient origin, the modern large-scale production and the more precise controlled methods have resulted in glues of higher and more uniform quality than the ancient glues from the same sources. Standardization of tests and testing methods is important. Joint tests constitute the principal means for determining the suitability of glues for woodworking. Tests that can be made directly upon the glues rather than upon glued joints may be developed.
