Making of wood composite by using natural rubber latex as an adhesive

A preliminary investigation into Natural Rubber Latex (NR) and starch adhesives for use in the manufacture of Medium Density Fiber (MDF) panels from rubber wood fibers is reported. This research is on increasing the mechanical strength and physical properties of MDF using Natural Rubber Latex (NR) a...
