Starch Grafted Water Resistant Polyvinyl Acetate-Based Wood Adhesive: A Review

Global energy issues and the reliance on hydrocarbon resources have resulted in the reduction of petroleum sources, and the focus of the chemical industries has shifted to substitute raw material sources. The major raw materials used in wood adhesives, such as hydrocarbons like polyvinyl acetate, would be gradually replaced by renewable natural polymers. Currently, polyvinyl alcohol has the limitation of petroleum origin, which is non-economical and it will be replaced by biopolymers. Conventionally available wood adhesive emulsions are colloid-like polyvinyl alcohol stabilized. Starch, being a naturally available polymer, has gained interest from researchers for replacing polyvinyl alcohol as a stabilizer. New research on sustainable, economical, biodegradable, renewable, and environmentally friendly starch grafted polyvinyl acetate emulsion that was synthesized by the graft polymerization of vinyl acetate monomer onto starch. However, starch grafted polyvinyl acetate emulsion-based adhesive’s properties, such as poor water resistance, weak adhesion, delayed drying rate and delayed setting speed, have resulted in limitations in its application as a wood adhesive. A detailed review of starch grafting on vinyl acetate and comonomers like acrylamides, and acrylic acid, and the addition of nano-fillers to enhance the water resistance and performance properties of sustainable adhesives has been explained.

The effect of reaction time and the molar ratio of D,L-lactide to glucose structural unit of starch on monomer conversion(C%), graft (G%) and graft efficiency (GE%) were studied. The C%, G% and GE% could approach 37.3%,179.7% and 68.0%, respectively when the molar ratio of D,L-lactide to glucose structural unit of starch is 10:1 and the graft copolymerization was carried out at 80-85℃ for 4 hours under nitrogen atmosphere.

淀粉接枝丙烯酰胺与聚丙烯酰胺对高岭土动态絮凝差异的研究

高岭土等黏土矿的存在是煤泥水沉降效果差的主要原因,目前尚未有关于难沉降煤泥水动态絮凝过程的研究。相较于聚丙烯酰胺(PAM)合成单体的毒性,淀粉接枝丙烯酰胺(SAM)合成的单体可降解性好。为此,以高岭土为研究对象,系统对比了SAM与PAM对高岭土动态絮凝过程的影响。首先,考察了不同SAM与PAM用量下的沉降速度和絮凝效果。随后,通过聚焦光束反射测量(FBRM)和颗粒录影显微镜(PVM)技术研究了高岭土悬浮液在SAM和PAM作用下的不同粒级颗粒数量变化。沉降实验和FBRM-PVM测试结果表明,PAM能够形成更多的+100μm大絮团,使得PAM具有更好的沉降效果;SAM形成的絮团更稳定,对细颗粒的絮凝效果更好。最后,通过FBRM获得的数据,基于Smoluchowski模型计算了PAM和SAM作用下高岭土的絮凝动力学参数,发现PAM作用下的絮凝指数明显高于SAM,同时-30μm和30~60μm颗粒数量的动态变化主导了絮凝动力学中絮团的形成过程。总体而言,PAM可以形成更多的、松散的大絮团,有利于高岭土的快速沉降,但对微细颗粒絮凝效果不佳。相较于PAM,SAM独特的多链立体网状结构,有利于微细颗粒絮凝和形成稳定的絮团,从而避免选煤厂洗水系统中细泥的循环积聚。
