However, the bad water resistance (caused by low crosslinking density) and inherent brittleness of SM adhesive severely hindered its application. However, improving crosslinking density is generally accompanied by a toughness reduction of the adhesive. Herein, we developed a flexible long-chain starch with a hyper-branched structure (HD), and incorporated it with SM and a crosslinking agent to prepare a novel SM adhesive. Results showed that this adhesive exhibited both excellent water resistance and enhanced toughness. The wet bond strength of plywood fabricated using this adhesive was 354.5% higher than that of SM adhesive. These achievements are because introducing HD with hyper-branched groups enhanced crosslinking density, while HD\u2019s flexible long-chain structure improved toughness of the adhesive. This HD can promote the development of tough and hydrophobic bio-based composites.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/polym11081352","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,8,15]],"date-time":"2019-08-15T04:22:54Z","timestamp":1565842974000},"page":"1352","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["A Tough, Water-Resistant, High Bond Strength Adhesive Derived from Soybean Meal and Flexible Hyper-Branched Aminated Starch"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Yi","family":"Zhang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Beijing Key Laboratory of Wood Science and Engineering &amp; MOE Key Laboratory of Wooden Material Science and Application, Beijing Forestry University, Beijing 100083, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jieyu","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Beijing Key Laboratory of Wood Science and Engineering &amp; MOE Key Laboratory of Wooden Material Science and Application, Beijing Forestry University, Beijing 100083, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mingsong","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Beijing Key Laboratory of Wood Science and Engineering &amp; MOE Key Laboratory of Wooden Material Science and Application, Beijing Forestry University, Beijing 100083, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jing","family":"Luo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Material Science and Engineering, Nanjing Forestry University, 159 Longpan Road, Nanjing 210037, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sheldon Q.","family":"Shi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Engineering Department of Mechanical and Energy Engineering, University of North Texas, 3940 North Elm Street, Suite F101P, Denton, TX 76207-7102, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Qiang","family":"Gao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Beijing Key Laboratory of Wood Science and Engineering &amp; MOE Key Laboratory of Wooden Material Science and Application, Beijing Forestry University, Beijing 100083, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jianzhang","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Beijing Key Laboratory of Wood Science and Engineering &amp; MOE Key Laboratory of Wooden Material Science and Application, Beijing Forestry University, Beijing 100083, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,8,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1359","DOI":"10.1021\/jacs.8b12150","article-title":"Cooking chemistry transforms proteins into high-strength adhesives","volume":"141","author":"Roman","year":"2019","journal-title":"J.
