Technology Development of Glycosyl Resins for Wood Composites by Sheldon Q Shi in Modern Applications of Bioequivalence & Bioavailability in Juniper Publishers

The synthesis methods for renewable and eco-friendly glycosyl adhesives were reviewed. The low molecular weight carbohydrate-based adhesives and the carbohydrate modified urea-formaldehyde resin, melamine-formaldehyde resin, phenol-formaldehyde resin and polyurethane resin were discussed. The paper provides an understanding of glycosyl adhesive synthesis, and its utilization in modifying different formaldehyde based adhesives. Hydroxyl and furfural reactions have been the main synthesis methods for the glycosyl adhesive and the glycosyl modified formaldehyde-based adhesives. The current adhesive synthesis methods have been highly dependent on the specific conditions, while most of the synthesis processes are not suitable for scaling up. The future research should focus on identifying an effective curing agent in order to reduce the curing temperature, pressure and the reaction time, in order for the commercialization of the glycosyl based adhesives.
