Water-Resistant Soybean Adhesive for Wood Binder Employing Combinations of Caustic Degradation, Nano- Modification, and Chemical Crosslinking

چکیده
In an attempt to develop a soybean-protein wood adhesive with improved water resistance and good technical applicability, soybean protein was first degraded under strong alkali conditions and then subjected to chemical crosslinking combined with nano-modification. Results of plywood evaluation, GPC analysis, and XRD determination indicated that a soybean-protein adhesive that could bear 28 h boilingdry cycled treatment according to standard JIS K6806-2003. The waterresistance improvement was attributed to both the chemical crosslinking of the degraded soybean protein (DSP) by MDI and the nanomodification of DSP by intercalated or exfoliated montmorillonite (MMT). Caustic degradation improved the technical applicability of the DSP adhesive by sharply reducing the viscosity of high-content protein solution. MMT nano-modification can obviously prolong the pot lives of MDI-modified DSP adhesives but slightly decrease their dry bond strength.

Laccase-Catalyzed Surface Modification of Thermo-Mechanical Pulp (TMP) for the Production of Wood Fiber Insulation Boards Using Industrial Process Water
Low-density wood fiber insulation boards are traditionally manufactured in a wet process using a closed water circuit (process water). The water of these industrial processes contains natural phenolic extractives, aside from small amounts of admixtures (e.g., binders and paraffin). The suitability of two fungal laccases and one bacterial laccase was determined by biochemical characterization co...

Polypyrol film was deposited on SS304by employing CPCvoltametery method, then coated with nano TiO2 (PPy/TiO2 )and used as a photocatalysis for degradation of somedyesacid fushin, methylenblue, methyl orange and methyl red. The SEM and XRD analysis indicated nano size of TiO2 deposits as 20nm on the polypyrol film. The UV result of absorption revealed that this film increased the rate of degrad...

The objective of this study was to quantify the influence of zinc oxide nanoparticles (nanoZnO) on the water repellency and dimensional stability of beech wood. Beech wood blocks were treated with a nano-ZnO solution at four treatment levels (0, 10,000, 20,000, and 40,000 ppm) using a modified dip method. Also, a thermal treatment was performed at 60 and 120°C. After conditioning the samples, w...

Wood is a porous three dimensional, hydroscopic, viscoelastic, anisotropic bio-polymer composite composed of an interconnecting matrix of cellulose, hemicelluloses and lignin with minor amounts of inorganic elements and organic extractives. Some, but not all, of the cell wall polymer hydroxyl groups are accessible to moisture and these accessible hydroxyls form hydrogen bonds with water. As the...
