The research attempted to develop an eco-friendly wood adhesive based on vegetable oil (soybean oil), the renewable and sustainable natural resources, using ozonification technology for the chemical structure modification. The soybean oils (SBO) were reacted with $O_3$ at the rate of 7.13 g/h for different times, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 60 minutes, and 120 minutes. Modified chemical structure of the ozonized SBOs were examined by Fourier transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectrum. The FT-IR spectrum of SBO had an absorbance peak at $3010cm^{-1}$ that is the characteristic peak of the unsaturated double bonds. As ozone treatment time increased, the peak of the double bond was disappeared and aldehyde or carboxyl peak appeared at $1700cm^{-1}$. The dry, wet, and cyclic boiling bond strengths of the ozonized SBO mixed with polymeric diphenylmethane-4, 4-diisocyanate (pMDI) were also investigated. In the dry shear test, all strengths met constantly the standard requirement of $7.0kgf/cm^2$ (KS F3101 2006). The bond strengths gradually increased with increasing ozone treatment time. The highest strength showed at 60 minutes ozone treatment and decreased values at 120 minutes. In the cyclic boiling shear test, 30, 60 and 120 minutes exceeded the standard requirement.

To improve the solubility and adhesion strength of diamine-quinone polymers, urethane group was introduced into the polymer backbone. Urethane group containing polymeric diamines(UDA) were prepared firstly by the decarboxylation of the NCO group in NCO terminated prepolymer obtained from the reaction of MDI and 1.6-hexandiol. The reaction mole ratio of NCO/OH was changed from 1.2 to 2.1 to increase the molecular weight of diamine. From the addition reaction of UDA and p-benzoquinone in THF or DMSO solvent, five kinds of urethane group containing diamine/quinone polymers(PUAQ) were prepared according to the diamine used. IR, NMR, UV-visible spectroscopy and GPC were used to characterize the molecular structure and molecular weight of UDAs and PUAQs. Thermal analysis of polymer by DSC and TGA were carried out according to the molecular weight differency. Also solubility test of UDA and PUAQ with 10 different solvents were carried out to predict the coacting property of the polymers.

Foam-type biodegradable polyurethane adhesives were developed as a non-lethal weapon against illegal fishing boats. The adhesives were prepared from a hardener of polymeric methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI) and a base composed of polyester and/or polyether polyols. In order to accelerate biodegradability, starch, dextrin, and amylase were added into the base, and which present about 34% degradability within 4 weeks confirmed by OECD 301C method. For proper mixing and corresponding prompt foam reaction, viscosities of hardener and base compositions were investigated in the temperature ranges from 0 to $50^{\circ}C$. For fast completion of the foam forming and corresponding adhesion, rising time was recorded in the same temperature range, and the rising time of the adhesive was varied within around 1 minute. T-peel adhesion tests with cotton fabrics were performed which showed 20.78 N/cm and 11.95 N/cm as the maximum and the average values, respectively.
