Particleboard and Fiberboard Bonded with Green Binder
摘要
This chapter explores the innovative integration of green binders in lignocellulosic particleboards and fiberboards. The adoption of lignocellulosic materials not only mitigates wood resource scarcity but also converts agricultural waste into valuable resources. Green binders, including starch, tannins, citric acid, and lignin, emerge as eco-friendly alternatives, challenging the environmental impact of synthetic counterparts. The chapter also scrutinizes binderless technology, where the lignocellulosic material itself acts as the adhesive. Manufacturing processes, performance analyses, and the quest for a harmonious synthesis of sustainability and structural integrity characterize this exploration, offering valuable insights for researchers navigating the dynamic field of green binders in particleboard and fiberboard technology.
