Abstract: | Agricultural wastes, oil palm trunk (OPT) veneer and oil palm empty fruit bunch (EFB) mat were used for the preparation of
hybridized plywood using 250 and 450 g/m2 of urea formaldehyde (UF) as gluing agent. The mechanical (flexural strength, flexural modulus, screw withdrawal, shear strength),
physical (density, water absorption, thickness swelling and delamination) and thermal (TGA) properties of the biocomposites
were studied. Images taken with a scanning electron micrograph (SEM) indicated an improvement in the fiber–matrix bonding
for the laminated panel glued with 450 g/m2 of UF. |
