Green adhesives : preparation properties and applications Synthetic adhesives are known for their toxic impact on the natural environment. In the emerging scientific world many challenges are arising in the industrial sectors as a consequence of trying to meet the demands posed by upgraded technologies. The development of green adhesives based on renewable resources is the necessity of this age. Their importance is growing gradually as the commercial market is motivated to emphasize the benefits of green adhesives. Green adhesives particularly those based on polysaccharides have a number of good features like biodegradability biocompatibility bio inertness antimicrobial activity nontoxicity and low cost that keep pace with synthetic adhesives Anti adhesive coatings : a technique for prevention of bacterial surface fouling Xiaohong Sun Songyuan Zhang Hui Li and Nandika Bandara Lignin based adhesives Xiaolin Luo and Li Shuai Green adhesive for industrial applications Priyanka E Bhaskaran Thangavel S and Rajasekar Rathanasamy Green adhesives for biomedical applications Julliana Ribeiro Alves dos Santos Alessandra Teixeira de Macedo Rodrigo Assuncao Holanda and Glauber Cruz Waterborne adhesives Sukanya Pradhan Scope and challenges of using polyfurfuryl alcohol as thermoset Adhesive Sealant Rakesh Kumar and Rajnish Kumar Bioadhesives M.
