Pre- or post-crosslinking is another method used to manufacture a conventional vinyl-based homopolymers or copolymers system with improved water resistance. Vinyl neodecanoate (VeoVa), N-methylolacrylamide (NMA), Methacrylamide, methacrylic acid (MAA), and other self-crosslinking comonomers are typically inserted to produce highly water-resistant vinyl based homopolymers or copolymers. Additionally, organic crosslinkers like glyoxal, glutaraldehyde, citric acid, tartaric acid, and the like, as well as inorganic crosslinkers like acidic metal salts like aluminium chloride, aluminium nitrate, boric acid, and the like, can be used to prepare the highly water-resistant vinyl based homopolymers or copolymers. It is also possible to combine the self-crosslinking comonomers with the organic crosslinkers. Recently, a different hybrid chemistry has been developed that improves lap shear strength, has outstanding water resistance, good durability, and doesn’t require any additional crosslinker agents. Two distinct polymers were combined to develop hybrid polymers. They usually involve mixing an organic polymer with a polymer. There are many capping agents that are used for polyurethanes to produce acrylics that are capped with polyurethane and used as an oligomer in PVAc wood glue. Here, in this paper, we reviewed the different hybrid chemistry based on polyurethane chemistry for wood bonding applications.展开更多

Aims: To compare the efficacy and safety of PDM011011 capsule (1200 mg/day) with Metformin (1000 mg/day) in a 15 weeks study using mean change in fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and Hb1Ac% in subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Settings and Design: This is an open-label, randomized, active-controlled, multicentric, phase III study. Methods and Material: A total of 123 eligible patients were randomized in 2:1 ratio in PDM011011 and Metformin arm. Total 83 subjects received PDM011011 capsule (1200 mg/day) and 40 subjects received Metformin (1000 mg/day) in their respective arms for 15 weeks. Subjects were analyzed for FPG and Hb1Ac% at baseline and during treatment visits (Visit 3 to Visit 7). Safety assessments were carried out. Results: In this study, the significant reduction in mean FPG level was observed after treatment with PDM011011 capsule and Metformin in T2DM patients. The mean change from baseline to week 15 in FPG was 14.52 mg/dL (95% CI: 6.36, 22.67) in the PDM011011-treated subjects and 28.34 mg/dL (95% CI: 21.35, 35.32) in the Metformin-treated subjects. At week 15, the mean change from baseline in HbA1c levels was 0.27% (95% CI: 0.06, 0.47) in the PDM011011 arm and 0.62% (95% CI: 0.40, 0.83) in the Metformin arm. Conclusion: PDM011011 capsule (1200 mg/day) exhibited the modest efficacy and safety as compared to Metformin (1000 mg/day) in type 2 diabetes patients.展开更多

Vegetable oils (including palm, castor, jatropha, and soybean oils), lactic acid, potato starch, and other bio-renewable sources are all excellent sources for the synthesis of adhesives that are being taken into consideration for the synthesis of “eco-friendly” adhesives. Due to their widespread use, accessibility, affordability, and biodegradability, biobased raw materials like carbohydrates used to synthesize wood and wood composite adhesive have gradually replaced petrochemical-based adhesive. Recently, xanthan gum, a naturally occurring polymer, has drawn the interest of scientists as a potentially petroleum source replacement. It possesses specific rheological characteristics, excellent water solubility, and stability to heat, and can be used as a binder, thickener, suspending agent, and stabilizer. Xanthan gum increases the adhesive strength in addition to increasing the viscosity of water-soluble adhesives. This article discusses xanthan gum as a potential substitute for traditional raw materials derived from petroleum that is used as a raw material for adhesives.展开更多

For general assembly tasks in the joinery business, such as edge gluing, wood veneer, and edge bonding, white glues have been used. White glue requires a prolonged setting time to achieve adequate handling strength as it solidifies through evaporation or absorption of water by the wood. Cold press and hot press techniques are used to bond wood substrates. Recently, white glue is frequently used as a wood adhesive with dielectric heating systems to prevent this and enhance production speeds. Radio frequency (RF) curing is merely a technique for heating glue lines in wood-to-wood joints. It considered a source of heat, like steam and electricity. In order to bond wood substrates with the least amount of clamping time, the RF produces a very rapid, uniform rise in temperature. In this review paper, we discussed the radio frequency curing technique, their mechanism and troubleshooting to achieve perfect wood bond in joinery segment.展开更多

Biodegradable hot melt adhesives (HMAs) prepared from natural sources have a potential for use in furniture and packaging industries because of an increase in awareness of environmental issues, the replacement of conventional petroleum-derived hydrocarbon raw materials by renewable, biodegradable and sustainable materials has developed. In terms of environmental issues, such as climate crisis due to an increase of carbon dioxide emission, attempts have been made to produce HMAs using non-hydrocarbon resins, such as polylactic acid (PLA)-based resins, containing no petroleum as a raw material. Polylactic acid was prepared by self-condensation reactions of lactic acid or by lactide ring opening polymerisation, and used for packaging materials, sanitary pads, diapers etc., especially adhesives owing to its excellent processability and the excellent mechanical properties of its HMAs products. Therefore, recently the use of PLA materials as a substitute for non-biodegradable hydrocarbon-based polymers can be considered to be environmentally favourable. Here, we discussed the various uses of PLA as a sustainable and bio-degradable and sustainable hot melt adhesive.展开更多
