Abstract:: ... Smallholder plantation teak (Tectona grandis Linn. F.) plays an important role in the socio-economic development of tropical countries. Published research on site differences with respect to anatomical, physical and mechanical properties of smallholder teak in Ghana is limited. This study compared and evaluated some physical, mechanical and anatomical properties of smallholder plantation teak tree ...

Abstract:: ... This study deals with the fabrication of three layer hybrid particleboard using kadam branch (Anthocephalus chinensis (Lam.) A. Rich ex Walp.) and dhaincha (Sesbania aculeata (Willd.)) as raw material with urea formaldehyde resin adhesive as 11% in the face and 9% in the core. Two types of particleboard i.e., dhaincha fine particles: face layer and kadam wood coarse particles:core layer (HB-A) and ...

Subject:: Hibiscus cannabinus; bending strength; cement; compression strength; dimensional stability; gypsum; kenaf; mixing; water uptake
Abstract:: ... Gypsum boards had poor dimensional stability and mechanical properties compared to cement boards. To improve its properties, gypsum–cement boards reinforced with kenaf fibre bast using different gypsum/cement mixing ratios was fabricated in the current study. The results revealed that addition of cement generally improved the bending strength and compressive strength of the gypsum boards. Dimensio ...

Abstract:: ... The decrease of wood supply leads to find out the alternative raw material for particleboard production derived from non-woody cellulose materials, one of the promising material is sorghum bagasse. However, the strength properties of particleboard manufactured from this biomass tend to be low. This research was to evaluate physical, mechanical and durability properties of sorghum bagasse-particleb ...

Abstract:: ... Most of wood industry requires well conformed logs and middle diameter trees to optimize primary processing yields. The raw material, mostly coming from monoculture plantations, contains a considerable proportion of juvenile wood. The objectives of present study were to identify the transition ring between juvenile and mature wood in Douglas-fir and to analyze the effect of juvenility and veneer t ...

Abstract:: ... In the wake of dwindling timber resources in Ghana, the establishment of plantations has become necessary and the government and industry are actively pursuing this course. Plantations of Khaya ivorensis, which is one of the most valuable wood species, have been established in Ghana. However, concerns have been expressed by industry and stakeholders about the properties of fast-grown plantation tr ...
