Enhanced properties of single-layer particleboard made from oil palm empty fruit bunch fibre with additional water-soluble additives

The efficacy of additional water-soluble additives was studied relative to the physical and mechanical properties of particleboards produced from oil palm empty fruit bunch (OPEFB). Polyethylene glycol, acrylamide, and acrylic resin were selected as water-soluble additives for use in the OPEFB parti...
