Adhesives––the resins widely used in particleboards, oriented strength boards, and
plywood––are traditionally produced from fossil-based polymers. Owing to the toxicity …

As fossil fuel resources dwindle and new regulations for a cleaner and safer environment
come on stream, there is growing interest in develo** new sustainable feedstocks for …

In this study, a biobased phenolic adhesive was successfully developed by entirely
substituting both petroleum-based phenol and formaldehyde with an unmodified corn stover …

Wood is the main source of lignin in the world. This generic term “Lignin” describes a large
group of aromatic biopolymers, ie the second most abundant class of biopolymers on Earth …

Phenol–formaldehyde (PF) resin continues to dominate the resin industry more than 100
years after its first synthesis. Its versatile properties such as thermal stability, chemical …

After cellulose, lignin is the most commonly used natural polymer in green biomaterials. Pulp
and paper mills and emerging cellulosic biorefineries are the main sources of technical …

Lignins are now considered as the main aromatic renewable resource. They represent an
excellent alternative feedstock for the elaboration of chemicals and polymers. Lignin is a …

Changes in both formaldehyde legislations and voluntary requirements (eg Germany RAL)
are currently the driving factors behind research on alternatives to amino-based adhesives; …

Considering the state of affairs related to polymers and their applications, the plastic-
dependence of the modern society is evident and becomes now needless to mention …

This review article aims to summarize the potential of using renewable natural resources,
such as lignin and tannin, in the preparation of NIPUs for wood adhesives. Polyurethanes …
