The use of alternative raw materials such as agricultural biomass and recycled wood waste
and by-products in particleboard production is a viable approach to respond to the …

Molasses can serve as a natural adhesive for plywood and particleboard. However, several
disadvantages remain, including lower dimensional stability and low bonding strength …

The mechanical properties of roller compacted concrete pavement (RCCP), reinforced with
date palm fibres, were investigated for the first time in this study. Date palm fibres extracted …

The hydrothermal carbonization of walnut wood chips was conducted at 200–250° C for 1–8
h. Increasing the hydrothermal carbonization temperature or the residence time decreased …

With the full factor experimental design method carried out, 20 sets of EPS concrete
specimens with different mass fractions of Corn Straw Fiber (CSF) and Expanded …

Despite its considerable potential, oil palm trunk (OPT) remains underutilized, largely owing
to the cyclical replanting process that occurs every 25–30 years. This study aimed to …

An absorber with lightweight, low-cost, high absorption and broad frequency bandwidth is
highly expected to design an electromagnetic wave absorber application. In this paper, the …

Oil Palm Empty Fruit Bunches (OPEFB) are solid waste from the palm oil processing
industry. The components of OPEFB include cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. OPEFB …

Activated carbon (AC) has a broad range of applications such as wastewater treatment, gas
separation, purification, energy storage, and adsorbents. However, the majority of …

The solar drying process creates a mild drying condition which might be suitable for oil palm
wood. The drying process of a particular wood is also affected by its intrinsic factors, such as …
