Banana chips ( Musa acuminata ) as an alternative lignocellulosic raw material for particleboard manufacture

Abstract: This study shows that it is feasible to make one-layer experimental particleboards from banana chips. Mechanical properties were easily satisfied at lower dosing rates, however thickness swelling remains a problem. The addition of 1% wax to the boards bonded with 14% resin resulted in impr...
