“…In this respect, novel requirements concerning free formaldehyde emissions from wood composites have posed novel challenges for both researchers and industrial practices related to the development of sustainable and ecofriendly wood composites, the optimization of available lignocellulosic raw materials, and the use of alternative natural and renewable feedstocks [ 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 ]. The harmful formaldehyde released from wood composites can be reduced by adding formaldehyde scavengers to conventional adhesive systems, through the surface treatment of finished wood composites, or by using novel biobased wood adhesives as environmentally friendly alternatives to traditional thermosetting resins [ 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 , 43 ]. Another alternative to formaldehyde-based adhesives is the manufacture of binderless wood-based panels, since wood represents a natural polymeric material abundant in lignocellulosic constituents, such as cellulose, hemicelluloses, and lignin [ 44 , 45 , 46 , 47 , 48 , 49 , 50 , 51 , 52 , 53 ].…”
