Hybrid composite boards were manufactured from oil palm trunk (OPT), frond (OPF), empty fruit bunch (EFB) and polyethylene. Four different plastics content of 0%, 5%, 12% and 20% were used in this study. The boards were manufactured to target density of 850 kg m-3. Urea formaldehyde (UF) adhesive was used as a binder at resin […]
