Polycondensation and autocondensation networks in polyflavonoid tannins. I. Final networks

A thermomechanical analysis (TMA) study, directly on a bonded joint during the process of adhesive hardening, on the sinergy and interference between polycondensation and autocondensation on procyanidin, and profisetinidin–prorobinetinidin-type polyflavonoid tannins network formation and hardening, confirmed that also at the higher curing temperatures characteristic of the hardening of tannin-based wood adhesives, hardening by polycondensation...
