The characterisation and water equivalency of rhizophora spp. particleboard bonded with soy protein

The objective of this study was to explore the potential of particleboard made from a type of mangrove hardwood, i.e. Rhizophora spp., bonded with soy protein, and evaluate its suitability as a water-equivalent material. First, the bark of the raw hardwood was removed from...
