Developments of wood adhesives based on renewable biomaterials

Soy proteins as a kind of inexpensive,abundant and readily available natural resources received the people great attention.In order to resolve the limitation of soy protein,the chemical modification of soy proteins has been extensively used.The studies on modification of soy protein for wood adhesive and developments of wood adhesives using mussel protein as a model have been extensive.In this paper the studies about the two aspects were reviewed.
