Biobased Adhesives: Sources, Characteristics, and Applications

This book is a comprehensive resource on biobased adhesives that will replace petroleum-based adhesives. It contains 23 chapters written by world-class scientists and technologists and is divided into three parts: fundamental aspects, classes of biobased adhesives, and applications. Topics covered include an introduction to biobased adhesives, adhesion theories, chemistry, biorefinery products, naturally aldehyde-based thermosetting resins, natural crosslinkers, curing, adhesive bond strength development, mimicking nature, bio-inspired adhesives, protein adhesives, carbohydrates, natural polymer-based adhesives, epoxy adhesives, biobased polyurethane adhesives, nanocellulose-modified adhesives, debondable, recyclable, and biodegradable biobased adhesives, 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural-based adhesives, adhesive precursors from tree-derived naval stores, and applications in various industries.
