Due to their high reactivity, chemical versatility and economic competitiveness,
formaldehyde-based poly-condensation adhesives are used in huge amounts-in 2010 in the …

The palm oil industry generates significant amounts of solid wastes. The solid wastes, also
known as oil palm biomass, includes the trunk (OPT) and fronds (OPT) from the plantation …

In this study cellulose nanocrystals were isolated from oil palm trunk (Elaeis guineensis)
using acid hydrolysis method. The morphology and size of the nanocrystals were …

Impending health challenges in the formulations of particleboards from cellulosic‐based
waste particles such as wood chips, sawdust, and veneer boards are of great concern …

The demand for fiberboards has been growing in recent years. However, emission of
formaldehyde, which was the main component of adhesives in fiberboards, has caused …

Resins based on so‐called condensed tannins have been in industrial use for nearly 50
years as replacement for phenolic resins for wood based panels with high resistance …

The production of fiberboard, particleboard, and related hot-pressed biomass products can
convert small, relatively low-valued pieces of wood into valuable products. There is strong …

This series of critical reviews on Wood Adhesives Based on Natural Resources (in total four
parts) describes the experience and actual status of wood adhesives based on natural …

We developed value-added, high-strength lignocellulosic biopolymers by exploiting high-
lignin biomass waste of palms. Lignocellulosic biopolymers were prepared by hot-pressing …

As the worldwide demand for fuels and materials increases, fossil resources are decreasing
and global warming is a concern, and thus the need for alternative solutions is high. In the …
