Effect of different relative humidity on physical and mechanical properties of moulded laminated coconut veneer lumber (LCVL) backrest / Ahmad Fahmi Ahmad Razan

The development and advanced utilization of multipurpose tree plantations is vital to meeting the demands for woody materials. Coconut palm (Cocos Nucifera L) is one of the major fast growing species used in plantation forestry programs throughout Asia and the Pacific. Due to its rapid growth and to...
