“…Further, MHG resins are also unique because they are highly resistant to boiling water as boiling water soaking bonding strength has never been reported for other glyoxal-related adhesives. According to the results in the literature, − ,,,,− only dry bonding strengths of plywood were reported for pure MG and UG, and a few studies reported cold water soaking bonding strengths. ,,− As for other composite adhesives, to make them more stable toward hydrolysis, more components were used with glyoxal, such as oxidized cassava starch and polyethyleneimine (PEI), leading to, namely, UG-oxidized cassava starch (UGCS) and polyethyleneimine-UG (HBPEIUG) adhesives. Note that PEI is also a branched polyamine containing terminal amino groups.…”
