| 摘要 |
This invention relates to a process for converting lignocellulosic material into a thermosetting, water-proof adhesive. The lignoceelulose material is treated with high pressure steam to cause a thermal decomposition and hydrolyzation of hemicellulose and cellulose which generate water soluble, low molecular weight carbohydrates and other decomposition products. These water solubles can be used as a thermosetting resin adhesive to create a water-proof bond under heat and pressure. In one embodiment of the invention the thermosetting adhesive is used for bonding other components of the lignocellulosic material, or in combination with other lignocellulosic material to produce water-proof composite products.
