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

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 improved th...
