Adhesive bonding plays an increasing role in the forest product
industry and is a key factor for efficiently utilizing timber and
other lignocellulosic resources. As synthetic wood adhesives are
mostly derived from depleting petrochemical resources and have
caused increasing environmental concern, natural product and
byproduct-derived adhesives have attracted much attention in the
last decades. Although adhesives made from plant and animal sources
have been in existence since ancient times, increased knowledge of
their chemistry and improved technical formulation of their
preparation are still needed to promote their broader industrial
applications. The primary goals of this book are to (1) synthesize
the fundamental knowledge and latest research on bio-based
adhesives from a remarkable range of natural products and
byproducts, (2) identify need areas and provide directions of
future bio-based adhesive research, and (3) help integrating
research findings in practical adhesive application for maximal
benefits. This book covers information on a variety of natural
products and byproducts and the latest research on formulation,
testing and improvement of the relevant adhesives in fifteen
chapters written by an international group of accomplished
contributors. This book will serve as a valuable reference source
for university faculty, graduate students, research scientists,
agricultural and wood engineers, international organization
advocators and government agency regulators who work and deal with
enhanced utilization of agricultural and forest products and
byproducts.
