摘要

Environment compatible adhesives have been the front field of research for past many years considering the toxicity concerns raised by the synthetic and commercial adhesives readily available in the market. To meet the human needs on daily basis, biomaterial-based adhesives may be a potential candidate for packaging products, engineered wood materials, artifacts and many more home compatible applications. Soy protein grafted with [2-(methacryloyloxy) ethyl] trimethylammonium chloride (MAETMAC) was studied as a wood adhesive. The modified biomaterial was characterized through standard physico-chemical techniques. The material was programmable at molecular level in terms of adhesion strength and water resistance. An engineered wood was developed from crops stubble waste using the grafted soy protein as binder. This research holds promise toward tailor—made applications and multi scalability of the developed biomaterial. The adhesive was studied as a substitute to contemporary commercial adhesives, aimed toward minimizing the toxicity threats posed by them.
