Abstract

Earlier research into native wheat flour for wood to wood bonding showed excellent bonding properties comparable to synthetic adhesives, but no data about ageing behaviour is available. Short and long term effects on mechanical properties were analysed by lap joint testing and modified DCB-specimens. Results showed no significant reduction in bonding properties, but a trend to lower adhesive strength after 12 months of storage was noticeable. Changes in wheat polymers were observed by means of DSC and FTIR-ATR. Soluble degradation products of starch were analysed by GC-FID after methanolysis and derivatisation. FTIR measurements indicated changes in the structure of starch, but no appreciable alteration of proteins. Investigations by DSC showed increasing crystallinity during 3 months of storage. After 6 months more degradation products were detected. Results indicated that hydrolysis of starch is responsible for a moderate decrease of bonding performance; wheat proteins seem to be less affected.
