    Journal of Renewable Materials, Vol.12, No.10, pp. 1757-1770, 2024, DOI:10.32604/jrm.2024.054821 - 23 October 2024

    Abstract Despite its considerable potential, oil palm trunk (OPT) remains underutilized, largely owing to the cyclical replanting process that occurs every 25–30 years. This study aimed to address this issue by developing an eco-friendly oriented strand board (OSB) using vascular bundles (VBs) from oil palm, both in binderless form and with the incorporation of natural adhesives made from sucrose and ammonium dihydrogen phosphate (ADP). The VB was extracted from OPT using a pressure cooker and mixed with a sucrose-ADP solution at various ratios. The mixture was then pressed at temperatures of 180°C and 200°C for 10… More > Graphic Abstract

    Journal of Renewable Materials, Vol.9, No.9, pp. 1647-1660, 2021, DOI:10.32604/jrm.2021.016089 - 23 April 2021

    Abstract The performance of oil palm trunk wastes from Banjarbaru of South Kalimantan was improved with the help of chemical modification in a two-step treatment. The first was formalization with formaldehyde solution with varying pH, and the second was impregnation with melamine-formaldehyde resin under 5 bar pressure for an hour. In these processes, the samples were cured at 120°C for 10 min and then dried in an oven at (103 ± 2)°C in order to attain a moisture content of less than 6%. These treatments improved the physical properties (density, moisture content, and volume swelling), mechanical More > Graphic Abstract
