A thermosetting adhesive consisting of tannin and poly(N-hydroxymethylacrylamide) was studied. This adhesive is an environmentally friendly one using only water as the solvent and is partly based on a natural product. It showed good bonding strength and water resistance for a wood product although ...
TanninFor the purpose of understanding the mechanism of the reaction between tannin and poly(N-hydroxymethylacrylamide) (pNMA) reported in the preceding paper, corresponding elemental reactions of catechin and tannin with N-(hydroxymethyl)acrylamide monomer (NMA) were studied. NMA reacted with both ...
