    Abstract:
    An environmentally friendly wood adhesive developed from waterborne polyurethane (WPU) grafted gelatin (G) was investigated in this research. First, the G was extracted from chromium shavings waste, and then mixed with a prepolymer emulsion of WPU to synthesis the graft copolymer (WPUG) via a solvent-free emulsion copolymerization. The synthesized copolymer was characterized using the mechanical properties test, TGA, FT-IR, and other analysis technology. The results indicated that the WPUG had a good overall performance. Specifically, the contact angle reached 111.5°, the tensile strength reached 32.91 MPa, the temperature of the maximum weight loss was greater than 350 °C. The WPUG adhesive had excellent bonding power and mechanical properties; the dry bonding strength reached 4.21 MPa when the ratio between free amino groups of the G and isocyanate-groups of the WPU (the R value) was 1.5. This preparation of the graft copolymer not only satisfies the need of environment-friendly wood adhesives, but it also effectively improves the recyclability of chromium shavings waste.
