Abstract:Particle boards from wood sources have negative impacts on the environment through deforestation. Binders from synthetic sources are also not economical due to high costs in some parts of the world. Agricultural waste materials like rice husk (RH) and readily available natural binders like gum Arabic (GA) are proposed as alternative component materials in particle board manufacture. This study therefore investigates the engineering performance of gum Arabic bonded particle board made from rice husk and candle … Show more
