Low-carbon cork agglomerated materials via chitosan/blocked isocyanate adhesive: Cross-linking mechanism, high performance, and life cycle assessment.

Incorporating natural biological macromolecules to reduce reliance on petroleum-derived adhesives and valorize bio-wastes is a key path for achieving low-carbon manufacturing. However, the inherent hydrophobic barrier of cork restricts the interfacial wetting and penetration of traditional highly polar bio-based adhesi...
