Research demonstrates enhanced sustainability and compressive strength in biocomposite materials using wood waste, indicating potential in eco-friendly construction.
Key Points
The developed biocomposite material has a compressive strength of 10–15 MPa, making it durable for low-rise construction.
With a density of 800–900 kg/m³ and water absorption around 30–40%, this material shows practical environmental benefits.
The experimental samples were made through a detailed process including mixing, pressing, and thermal treatment of wood waste and casein adhesive.
Key performance factors identified in biocomposite production include moisture content, adhesive ratio, and curing conditions.
