Liquefied poplar wood was self-crosslinked at an elevated temperature and used for preparation of cured films. The result represents a novel approach in the field of liquefied lignocellulosics, because this was for the first time that the cured films have been prepared from liquefied wood without added curing agents. The research opens new opportunities for more effective usage of liquefied wood for coats and adhesives.

Increasing ecological consciousness, strict environmental demands, introduction of volatile organic compound (VOC) ordinances and price rising of oil derivatives are main reasons for numerous new nature-based products. Production of wood adhesives based on natural and renewable sources is a sphere where many studies and attempts of industrial applications have already been done. Results of these studies and trials to develop wood adhesives based on tannin, lignin and liquefied wood are presented in this article.
