Fiber morphology and anatomical properties of mendong wood (elaeocarpus spp.) in Malaysia / Norsyazwani Saffuan

The scientific name of Mendong is Elaeocarpus spp. This species have the potential to be used in wood composite product for furniture industry and wood plastic composite product. However, information about these Elaeocarpus spp. is still inadequate especially those related to the fiber morphology...
