Introduction and Historical Perspective Anthony H . Conner Forest Products Laboratory Forest Service U. S. Department of Agriculture One Gifford Pinchot Drive Madison, WI 53705

Carbohydrates, in the form of gums, polysaccharides, oligomers, and monomeric sugars, are readily available in large quanitities from renewable biomass resources. Each of these substances, either directly or in a chemically modified form, is a source of intermediates (derivatives) that have potential use in adhesive formulation. Carbohydrates have been utilized historically for and in adhesives and are likely to be used more and more in the future as petroleum-derived chemicals become scarce and prices increase. Appropriate research emphasis can effectively further their use as adhesive raw material. T h i s section of the b o o k deals w i t h the u t i l i z a t i o n of c a r b o h y d r a t e s i n adhesives. It includes a n u m b e r o f excellent chapters t h a t give a g o o d flavor for present research i n t o the use o f c a r b o h y d r a t e s i n adhesives. A s a n i n t r o d u c t i o n t o t h i s section, I w o u l d like t o give a b r i e f overview of the use o f c a r b o h y d r a t e s i n adhesives.
