This study was focused on the effect of hydrothermal treatment in buffer solutions to improve mechanical properties of oil palm wood (OPW). To control the destructive effects of the released acids caused by the degradation of acetyl groups of the hemicelluloses, the hydrothermal treatment in buffere...
