Due to the world’s energy issues and dependency on petroleum resources, focus has switched to finding new, sustainable raw material sources for wood adhesives. Renewable biopolymers would gradually replace petroleum and natural gas as the primary raw materials used in wood adhesives. Chitosan is a biomass substance having a lot of reserves. Chitosan is one of the most fascinating biopolymers in the adhesive sector because of its potential qualities for adhesive applications, such as biodegradability, biocompatibility, and non-toxicity. Chitosan and its derivatives have so garnered considerable interest in a wide range of adhesive applications. However, its adhesive strength is insufficient to glue wood under normal, humid conditions. There has been a lot of study done on how to make chitosan-based adhesives more cohesive and water resistant. In order to effectively use chitosan-based wood glue in wood/wood composite adhesive that gives comparable performance to synthetic adhesives, numerous new ways have been developed. It has been modified by the addition of various cross-linkers, including aldehydes like glyoxal glutaraldehyde etc . , epoxy compounds, blended with other polymers, different acids and chitosan grafted onto vinyl acetate. In the production of wood composites, chitosan can also scavenge formaldehyde. This review of chitosan-based adhesives focuses on various cross-linkers for chitosan modification in order to improve the properties of chitosan-based wood adhesives.
