Low Density Wood Particleboards Bonded with Starch Foam—Study of Production Process Conditions

It has been shown that wood particleboards bonded with sour cassava starch can display low density combined with good physico-mechanical performance, thanks to starch being able to produce a strong foam that fills the interparticular space. Here we optimize the pressing conditions for the production...
