Summary
The field of adhesives is in constant and rapid evolution, with considerable novelties being published constantly. In particular, the strong trend at present is to develop alternatives to synthetic oil-derived adhesives. A number of different trends are present on this front. Different approaches can be noticed, such as (i) adhesives where a renewable biosourced material is used as a partial but consistent substitution of an oil-derived material leading to hybrid but definitely more environment-friendly adhesives, and (ii) adhesives based totally or partially on synthesis materials but these being exclusively derived from totally biosourced renewable materials, and (iii) Adhesives based on totally renewable materials, modified or unmodified. All these three trends are strongly represented at present.
