Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on developing bio-based wood adhesives to address the fossil resource shortage, specifically using sucrose.
- It investigates the efficacy of para-toluenesulfonic acid (PTSA) as a catalyst to improve the curing process, revealing optimal conditions of a 95:5 mixture ratio and 180 °C for 10 minutes.
- Results indicate that PTSA enhances sucrose curing efficiency, yielding better thermal properties and lower required temperatures compared to traditional sucrose-based adhesives.
