Thermosetting starch adhesive for wood-based panel and preparation method therefor

Abstract

The present disclosure discloses a thermosetting starch adhesive for a wood-based panel and a preparation method therefor, and belongs to the technical field of preparation of adhesives. In the present disclosure, starch is used as a main raw material, and after acid hydrolysis thereof, a semi-continuous seed emulsion polymerization method is adopted to improve control of monomer polymerization stability. After grafting is completed, a cross-linking monomer with polymerizable double bonds and condensable methylol functional groups is added for copolymerization. The cross-linking monomer is also added in a semi-continuous manner. After the cross-linking reaction is completed, the reaction mixture is gelatinized and incubated, and finally a thermosetting adhesive which can be used for bonding of hot-pressed wood-based panels is obtained. The adhesive of the present disclosure has the properties of two-step cross-linking and high-temperature rapid cross-linking curing, good film formation, good heat resistance, and strong cohesion. With a hot-pressing process in an appropriate coating manner, appropriate temperature and pressure, the resultant wood-based panels have all their properties superior over those of Class II wood-based panels, and they can be widely used in decoration of hot-pressed woods, and bonding of wood-based panels and plywoods.
