  • Aqueous algal-based phenolic type adhesives and glues
    Patent number: 5520727
    Abstract: A novel water-resistant, aqueous, and versatile phenolic adhesive or glue derived from algal materials. Phenolic compounds act as an adhesive glue by binding non-specifically to both hydrophobic and hydrophilic surfaces in aqueous conditions and are useful for medical, biological, biomedical, marine, industrial and other applications. Algal derived adhesive phenolic compounds are activated with enzyme catalyst or oxidizing agents and/or cross-linked with algal carbohydrate, other fibers, or proteins.
