Oil Palm Biomass for Composite Panels: Fundamentals, Processing, and Applications

Oil Palm Biomass for Composite Panels: Fundamentals, Processing, and  Applications explains the preparation and utilization of oil palm  biomass for advanced composite panel products. It introduces the  fundamentals of oil palm biomass and wood-based panel products,  including basic properties, durability, deterioration, and adhesives. It  also includes in-depth information on processing and treatments  organized by biomass type, covering oil palm trunk and lumber, veneer,  empty fruit bunches (EFBs), oil palm fronds, and other sources.  Additionally, this book focuses on specific composite panel  applications, explaining the utilization of oil palm biomass in specific  products.

Finally, current policy, economic and environmental  factors, and supply considerations are discussed. The information  contained in Oil Palm Biomass for Composite Panels will be of interest  to researchers, scientists and advanced students in bio-based materials,  polymer science, composites, wood science, forestry, and biomass, as  well as industrial scientists and product designers working with oil  palm biomass, wood-based products, and sustainable materials.
