Polysaccharide‐Based Adhesives: A High‐Performance Bio‐Adhesive Using Hyperbranched Aminated Soybean Polysaccharide and Bio‐Based Epoxide (Adv. Mater. Interfaces 9/2020)

A novel water-soluble soybean polysaccharide (WSSPS)-based adhesive is developed by hyperbranched polyamide grafting in conjunction with eco-friendly cross-linking. A cross-linking hyperbranched network is formed in the adhesive to provide the adhesive with cohesive interactions, whereas the prepared hyperbranched WSSPS endowed adhesive with surface adhesive bonding. The obtained plywood bonded with this adhesive exhibit excellent water resistance and high adhesion strength.
