The objective of this study was to evaluate physical and mechanical properties of medium density fibreboard (MDF) panels made from kenaf core as function of fibre geometry and refining conditions. Raw material was prepared by using pressure levels of 3, 5 and 7 bar at two heating times, namely 3 and...
