Developing Eco-Friendly, High-Performance Soy Protein Plywood Adhesive via Core-Shell Hybridization and Borate Chemistry.

ABSTRACT: Developing eco-friendly, high-performance adhesives is crucial for sustainable industrial applications but remains a significant challenge. Herein, a synergistic strategy combining core-shell hybridization and borate chemistry was employed to fabricate a multifunctional soy protein (SPI) adhesive with excellent adhesion. Specifically, a reactive core-shell hybrid (POSS-U) was synthesized via free-radical polymerization using octavinyl-POSS as the core and urushiol (U) as the shell. Sodium borate (SB) was then added as a crosslinker, along with POSS-U and SPI, to prepare the SPI/POSS-U/SB adhesive. The SPI/POSS-U/SB adhesive exhibited a 100% increase in dry shear strength (2.46 MPa) and a wet shear strength of 0.74 MPa, meeting indoor application standards. Due to the thermal shielding and
