Evaluation Of Oil Palm Trunk Based Adhesive For Particleboard

Evaluation Of Oil Palm Trunk Based Adhesive For Particleboard

This study investigated the potential of starch extracted from oil palm trunk to be used as wood composite adhesive. Commercial rice starch was used as a comparison. The starch was modified with epichlorohydrin to impart it with better properties than its native form. The starch was then emplo...
