Processing and characterization of biomass-based wood composites
(Cambridge Scholars Publishing, 2024-10) Sekoai, Patrick T; Sithole, B; Olagunju, Olusegun A; Chunilall, Viren
Wood composites are gaining increased attention as sustainable alternatives to traditional building materials. This chapter explores the processing and characterization of biomass-based wood composites. We discuss various methods of processing biomass materials, including particle preparation, resin formulation, and composite manufacturing techniques. Additionally, we delve into the characterization techniques used to evaluate these composites' physical, mechanical, and thermal properties. The chapter aims to provide insights into the production and evaluation of biomassbased wood composites, highlighting their potential for a wide range of applications.
