Although protein-based adhesives are eco-friendly, sustainable, and biodegradable,
continued improvement in their adhesive performance is desirable. In this work, the effect of …

Many of the currently used wood adhesives contain chemicals that are harmful to human
health and the environment. Increasing environmental and human health concerns have …

The wood-based composites manufactured by fast growing wood and adhesive are mainly
used for making furniture and flooring. Recent years, the wood-based composite …

The interests in biobased wood adhesives have been steadily increasing in recent years.
Cottonseed protein isolate has shown potential as a renewable biobased adhesives. For a …

The aim of this study was to improve the water resistance of a soybean meal-based
adhesive with a low-cost lignin-based resin (LR). The LR could react with active groups on …

Today, the most commonly used adhesives in the wood industry are fossil-based, but the
search for new, renewable and less hazardous, resources for adhesives is intensifying …

Soy protein isolate and wheat gluten were studied to evaluate their wood bonding
performance. A multiscale approach was employed, combining tensile shear strength …

Soy protein is currently being used commercially as a “green” wood adhesive. Previous
work in this laboratory has shown that cottonseed protein isolate, tested on maple wood …

Several modified cottonseed protein isolates were studied and compared to corresponding
soy protein isolates for their adhesive properties when bonded to wood composites …

In this work, a water resistance soy protein-based adhesive was developed by incorporating
tailor-made nanoparticles, which were synthesized through the reaction of nanocrystalline …
