Binder compositions and methods for making and using same

A method for making a composite product, comprising:

• combining a plurality of lignocellulose substrates, at least one unsaturated compound, and at least one free radical precursor to produce a mixture, wherein the unsaturated compound has two or more unsaturated carbon-carbon bonds, and wherein at least one of the unsaturated carbon-carbon bonds is a pi-bond that is not conjugated with an aromatic moiety and is capable of free radical addition;
• and
• heating the mixture to a temperature of about 60° C. to about 300° C. to produce a composite product.

A composite product, comprising a plurality of lignocellulose substrates and an at least partially cured binder composition, wherein the binder composition, prior to at least partial curing, comprises at least one unsaturated compound and at least one free radical precursor, wherein the unsaturated compound has two or more unsaturated carbon-carbon bonds, and wherein at least one of the unsaturated carbon-carbon bonds is a pi-bond that is not conjugated with an aromatic moiety and is capable of free radical addition.
