Performance of binderless board manufactured using camphor tree residue

Residue of the branch wood camphor tree (Cinnamomum camphora) was used to manufacture binder-free biodegradable biomass fiberboard (bio-board) by wet method. To investigate mechanical properties bio-board, bending rupture stress and tensile tests were measured effect heating temperature applied pressure on performance bio-board evaluated. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analyze influencing factors microstructure bond quality bio-boards. The overall density bio-boards exceeded 0.8 g/cm3 moisture content below 10%, which conformed JIS A 5908 standard (2014) for hardboard S20 type design specification. continued increase, dimensional stability continuously improved as increased. However, when 170 °C, increase in slowed down had been improved. Furthermore, increasing more conducive optimizing bio-board’s than pressure.
