  • Wood adhesives containing solid residues of biomass fermentations
    Patent number: 7651582
    Abstract: A bioadhesive composition for bonding together adjacent surfaces of wood comprises a microbially-produced fermentation residue containing adherent microbial cells and glycocalyx. This residue finds particular application as a replacement for a significant amount of phenol-formaldehyde (PF) or other conventional adhesive component commonly used in the production of plywood and other wood products.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 6, 2008
    Date of Patent: January 26, 2010
    Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of Agriculture
    Inventors: Paul J. Weimer, Linda F. Lorenz, Anthony H. Conner, Charles R. Frihart

  • One step method for the preparation of difurfuryl diamines
    Patent number: 5292903
    Abstract: A synthetic procedure for the synthesis of diamino difurfuryl compounds via a one-step, low-temperature reaction that does not require additional steps for the protection of the amino functionalities in the reactant or the deprotection of the amino functionalities in an intermediate product to give the final product is disclosed. The importance of acid concentration, reaction temperature, and reaction time to the one step method are disclosed.
