ABSTRACT = {An adhesive based on the reaction of a very fast reacting procyanidin-type condensed tannin, namely 
purified pine bark tannin, with a biosourced nontoxic and nonvolatile aldehyde derived from the pulp 
and paper industry, namely hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), was shown to almost satisfy the relevant 
standards for bonding wood particleboard. The conditions of pH used are determinant for the result. 
The oligomers obtained by the reaction and their distribution have been determined by matrix-assisted 
laser ionization desorption time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry. Of the two reactive groups of 
hydroxymethylfurfural capable of reacting, the furanic aldehyde one and the furanic hydroxymethyl alcohol 
group, only the first one appears to mainly react, the second one reacting minimally or not at all under the 
alkaline conditions used.},
