The reactive multihydroxy soybean oil (MHSBO) was synthesized from epoxidized soybean oil (ESBO). The ESBO was reacted with ethylene glycol to obtain MHSBO having high functionality. This study investigated a feasibility to prepare wood adhesive through the reaction of polymeric methylene-diphenyl-4,4'-diisocyanate (pMDI) with MHSBO. Different polyurethane adhesives were prepared with a variety of equivalent mole ratios (eq. mole ratios) of MHSBO to pMDI. The chemical reactions of adhesives were analyzed using H-1 NMR and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), and their thermal studies were investigated by DSC and TGA. The MHSBO/pMDI resins (3 : 1 and 2 : 1 eq. mole ratios) showed endothermic peaks, whereas the MHSBO/pMDI resins (1 : 2 and 1 : 3 eq. mole ratios) showed exothermic peaks. The best adhesion strength was found when plywood was bonded with the adhesive of a eq. mole ratio of 2 : 1 (MHSBO : pMDI). These results indicated that the bond strength was not related to the reactivity obtained from the FTIR spectra. But it was explained that the adhesion strength increased as the residual -NCO groups in the adhesive reacted with the hydroxy groups of wood during the manufacturing of plywood.
