Abstract | ||
HEREIN, we demonstrate a promising route to prepare an eco-friendly particleboards (Pb) bonded with novel itaconic polyamidoamine epichlorohydrin/soy protein adhesive (IA-PEA/SP). The as prepared materials, IA-PEA and (IA-PEA/SP), characterized with 1H-NMR spectroscopy, viscosity, solid content, shear bonding strength, and water resistance. The physico-mechanical tests of IA-PEA/SP bonded- plywood (0.5/5 weight ratio) attained an enhanced dry and wet shear bonding strength of 5.94 ±0.36 MPa and 1.220.02± MPa compared with an alkali-denatured SP adhesive control. The water resistance tests, proved the sustainability of the prepared composite. Moduli of rupture and elasticity of Pb were 7.07 ± 0.12 MPa and of 0.21± 0.005 GPa. A two-fold internal bonding strength (IB) was obtained at IA-PAE/SP adhesive (40%) compared to the control. The water absorption and the thickness swelling improve by ~ 40% and 33%. TGA and Ʃ Ea calculations showed proper thermal properties. The proposed IA-PAE/SP adhesive paves the way for using green wood adhesives. | ||
