Abstract
Composites made of annual plants, based on polymer matrix reinforced with ligno-cellulosic material, have been extensively used in construction, automotive industry, marine etc. due to their tailored properties and acceptable costs. Petroleum-based adhesives (most of them based on methane and formaldehyde), a principal matrix for lignocellulosic-based composites, include more than 85% from all the resins used yearly in the world. Their utilization can cause air pollution and health damages for humans because of the toxic substances (e.g. formaldehyde). Considering the scarcity of gas and petroleum reserves and the environmental concerns on high-emission and non-recyclable materials, researchers are trying to develop new alternative resins based on biomass or by-products of many industries. This chapter includes the use of alternative adhesives for composites with annual plants derived from food industry, as casein, polylactic acid, starch and soybean, pharmaceutical industry, as chitosan and cement industry as mineral binders, including here cement, lime, gypsum and geopolymers
