1. Synthesis and characterization of a greener poly(vinyl acetate) adhesive
University essay from KTH/Fiber- och polymerteknologiAbstract : To produce a greener adhesive is always an issue of concern to the commercial market and global environment. The environmental request for producing greener and bio-based adhesives leads to an increased awareness of replacing fossil-based components in adhesives with bio-based alternatives. READ MORE

2. Reaction Mechanism between Chitosan and Cerium(VI) Ammonium Nitrate for Production of a Greener Poly(Vinyl Acetate) Adhesive
University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)Abstract : Poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAc) has a major application as an indoor wood adhesive. Low water stability is however, one of the greatest drawbacks of PVAc. By grafting PVAc from a chitosan (CS) backbone (CS-graft- PVAc) water stability of adhesive is increased while good mechanical and adhesive properties are retained. READ MORE

3. Exploring the sustainability potential of an algae-based wood adhesive : Comparative and explorative environmental life cycle assessment of algae- vs. formaldehyde- based adhesives for particleboard production
University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknikAbstract : Adhesives used for wood composites such as particleboard are conventionally of petrochemical nature with formaldehyde as a base substance and represent a pain point in the industry due their toxic emissions. Consequently, adhesives are subject to an agenda to develop more benign, low-impact alternatives. READ MORE

4. Synthetic Functionalization of Colloidal Lignin Particles for Wood Adhesive Applications
University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)Abstract : Functionalizable spherical colloidal lignin particles (CLPs) represent a valuable asset for the valorization of lignin side-streams from the pulp industry. The spherical structure allows for the circumvention of the heterogeneous and poorly dispersible structure of the biopolymer. READ MORE

5. Enhancement of Phenol Formaldehyde Adhesive with Crystalline Nano Cellulose
University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för skog och träteknik (SOT)Abstract : Abstract The wood industries to this day use almost exclusively petroleum derived adhesives that are based mainly on the reaction of formaldehyde with urea, melamine or phenol. These adhesives have low cost and good adjustable properties which makes it hard for bio-based alternatives to compete. READ MORE
