Crop residues used as lignocellulose materials for particleboards formulation

Efforts to reduce pressure on use of wood in particleboard formulation have included the use of non-wood materials such as crop residues. Physical and mechanical properties are determined by the number of the hydroxyl (-OH) groups. Hydroxyl (-OH) groups attracts water molecules through hydrogen bond...
