Effect Of Particle Geometry On Properties Of Binderless Particleboard From Oil Palm (E/Aeis Guineensis) Trunk

Binderless particleboard panels were manufactured from two different particle geometry of oil palm (E/aeis guineensis) trunk. The types of particle used were fine particles and strands. Strands that were composed of vascular bundles with some parenchyma cells attached together while fine particle...
