Abstract: To address the hazards posed by formaldehyde emissions from wood-based products to human health and the indoor environment, research on wood adhesives has focused on developing green and eco-friendly alternatives. However, the limited water resistance and bonding strength of bio-based or glyoxal-based adhesives have hindered their practical application. In this work, a co-condensation method was employed to prepare glyoxal-based co-condensation adhesive incorporating starch and a small amount of chitosan as synergistic reinforcing agents to enhance their cross-linking extent. Considering cost control, the starch content was varied to adjust the adhesive properties. When the molar ratio of glyoxal to urea was 2:1 and the mass ratio of starch to urea was 0.5:1, the adhesive exhibited optimal bonding strength, reaching 1.48 MPa after immersion in cold water for 24 h and 0.91 MPa after treatment in 63 °C hot water for 3 h. These values exceeded the requirements of the Chinese national standard (GB/T 9846-2015, ≥0.7 MPa). Structural analysis indicated Schiff base and aldol condensation reactions among amino groups in chitosan and urea and hydroxyl and aldehyde groups in starch and glyoxal, forming chemical covalent cross-links that contributed to improved water resistance and bonding strength of plywood samples. Furthermore, the excellent penetration ability of the adhesive could promote the formation of a uniform and dense cross-linked network under hot-pressing conditions, thereby enhancing the overall performance of the plywood.
