Commercial urea-formaldehyde (UF) resin was blended with a renewable and environmentally friendly soy protein concentrate (SP) adhesive in order to reduce the emission of volatile organic compounds. The UF resin was replaced ...

The goal of this work is to study the rheological properties of based-modified soy protein concentrate (SPC) adhesives and the relationship between viscoelastic properties and bonding performance. Chemical modification of ...

One way of joining metal surfaces is the use of adhesives. These adhesives can be derived from petroleum, but with the inconvenience of having solvents in its composition, which can cause environmental, health and safety ...

Graphite nanosheets (GNSs) and poly(hydroxybutyrate-co-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) nanocomposites were prepared by solution casting method. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of previously phototreatment with ultraviolet ...

The combination of synthetic biodegradable thermoplastic with natural vegetable proteins is an alternative poorly explored that might have advantages mostly in reducing the final environmental impact and cost of the adhesive. ...

While the use of plastics continues to increase in our daily lives in a growing range products, these materials are very persistent in the environment. The blending of aliphatic polyesters with other thermoplastic polymers ...
