| Popis: | Medium density fibreboard (MDF) is extensively used in the construction and furniture industry, especially as building materials, household furniture, fencing and flooring because of its desirable properties such as being low cost, having excellent mechanical and physical properties and being isotropic. However, the sustainability of wood supply has become a serious environmental issue. Therefore, it is necessary to find alternative strategies in order to reduce the wood demand for producing wood-based composites such as MDF. This article reviews the various alternative materials such as wheat straw, kenaf, corn stalk, sisal and bagasse to reduce the dependency on wood in the related industries. Moreover, this article also reports on the development of environmental friendly adhesives and non-adhesive MDF to reduce the emission of formaldehyde which is a carcinogen agent and may lead to various health problems. |
