Abstract
Adhesives are used in applications where one or two surfaces are bonded under varying load conditions. Advantages of bio-adhesives over mechanical interlocking mechanisms. They can join any material in any shape, have no negative environmental impact, and can be sourced from natural plants. Research focuses on bio-adhesives verses solvent-based synthetic adhesives. Bio-adhesive proces-sing temperature parameters are 100°C, 140°C and unprocessed. Thermogravimetric-analysis (TGA) was performed under inert conditions to determine bio-adhesive properties under these temperature para-meters. The conditions were maintained constant, ensuring consistency and reliability of the data from this measurement. Investigating the mechanical properties of bio-adhesive, a lap-shear test was conducted using a tensile machine with paper-to-paper specimens bonded together. TGA results indicate that bio-adhesive has reached thermal stability and can undergo multiple decomposing phases. However, the percentage weight loss for processed bio-adhesive is almost similar, but for unprocessed the percentage weight loss performance is different. Lap-shear results show bio-adhesive's elastic deformation properties.
