The use of formaldehyde-based synthetic adhesives for the development of wood-based panels has increased rapidly in the industry. Synthetic adhesives are regarded as a threat to human health and a pollutant because they emit formaldehyde's carcinogenic gas. The breakthrough has prompted to seek for a long-term solution to the formaldehyde threat with natural resources. There has been a significant rise in bio-based adhesive technology and development in the wood-based panel industry. The current review article is intended to present the potentials and the drawbacks of the development of bio-adhesives from sustainable resources such as natural rubber latex (NRL) and starch. This review also discussed the chemical modification and crosslinkers of starch to improve water resistance and adhesion properties. Moreover, this article discusses the compatibility of modified rice starch and NRL for their conclusive applications as wood-based panels adhesive. The findings suggested that bio-based adhesives could replace more synthetic-based adhesives with comparable performance in the near future.
There Design of Experiment (DOE) has developed into a valuable collection technique for statistical and mathematical processes used in modelling and analysis of problems involving multiple variables influencing the desired response. Numerous researchers and engineers use this technique in a variety of fields, including botany, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and other engineering disciplines. This review article summarised key points from the Design of Experiments Using Response Surface Methodology (RSM). Design of experiments (DOE) has guidelines and procedures, but the literature does not recommend a specific method for finding and selecting the best possible design from a large number of possible designs.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
