Properties of engineered oil palm composite boards from 32 years-old tree stems

The unutilized stems of oil palm trees found in abundant in Malaysia and considered as an agriculture waste were investigated as a possible alternative to future wood. The stems are of no economic importance in their natural form, but once converted into the form of engineered composite boards their...
