DEVELOPMENT OF MIMOSA TANNIN-BASED ADHESIVE CROSS-LINKED BY FURFURYL ALCOHOL- FORMALDEHYDE AND EPOXY RESINS

摘要

A furfuryl alcohol-formaldehyde resin was synthesized as a crosslinker in our laboratory to develop a mimosa tannin-based adhesive with good water resistance. C-13 nuclear magnetic resonance and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectroscopy indicated that furfuryl alcohol reacted with formaldehyde under acidic conditions and that-CH (-OH) - groups to be the ones involved in the crosslinking of mimosa tannin-furfuryl alcohol-formaldehyde adhesive (TFF). The wet shear strength of TFF-bonded plywood suggested that the cured TFF adhesive was better than mimosa tannin-furfuryl alcohol (TF) adhesive. The water resistance of TFF adhesive cross-linked with 9% epoxy resin was also higher than those of TFF and TF adhesives.
