Nanocellulose in Heterogeneous Water-Based Polymerization for Wood Adhesives

The interest in the development of biobased adhesives has increased due to environmental concerns. Moreover, as production engineered wood products (EWPs) is expected grow, market needs transit toward formaldehyde-free products. Cellulose nanoparticles (CNPs) are a material with unique properties and advantages for producing hybrid materials adhesives. Besides their traditional use reinforcing additives, CNPs can be incorporated at beginning polymerization reaction form situ polymerized better mechanical physicochemical than neat adhesive. Despite outstanding characteristics, still an emerging nanomaterial adhesive field, studies incipient. This review explores utilization heterogeneous polyvinyl acetate, polymeric isocyanates, waterborne polyurethane systems, other polymer latexes. main challenges discussed, some recommendations set down manufacture these novel nanocomposites.
