Biobased Adhesives 1st Edition

Biobased Adhesives, 1st Edition by Manfred Dunky delivers a timely, authoritative exploration of the science and application of sustainable adhesives. This engaging, clearly written volume places biobased adhesive technologies at the center of modern manufacturing, from woodworking and packaging to automotive and construction sectors — relevant for readers across Europe, North America and Asia-Pacific looking to reduce fossil feedstock and meet evolving environmental standards.

Beginner-friendly yet technically rich, the book balances fundamental polymer and surface chemistry with practical formulation strategies. It reviews renewable raw materials, processing techniques, performance testing and durability, and addresses adhesive selection criteria for industry-specific challenges. Throughout, case studies and comparative analyses help translate laboratory insight into real-world solutions, making it invaluable for formulators, R&D scientists, engineers, and graduate students.

What sets this 1st edition apart is its pragmatic focus: clear guidance on optimizing bonding performance while prioritizing biodegradability, regulatory compliance and lifecycle thinking. Readers will appreciate the mix of scientific rigor and application-driven content that supports sustainable product development, cost-effective substitution of petrochemical adhesives, and innovation in green value chains.

Designed to be both a reference and a practical handbook, Biobased Adhesives supports decision-makers and practitioners seeking immediate, implementable knowledge. Whether you’re developing new formulations, evaluating supply-chain impacts, or teaching the next generation of materials scientists, Manfred Dunky’s work is an essential resource for navigating the shift to sustainable adhesives in global markets.
