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.
Sorghum has been recognized as a promising energy crop. The composition and structure of lignin in the cell wall are important factors that affect the quality of plant biomass as a bioenergy feedstock. Silicon (Si) supply may affect the lignin content and structure, as both Si and lignin are possibly involved in plant mechanical strength.
