FIBER REINFORCEMENT IN CEMENT BONDED PARTICLE BOARD: EVALUATING THE INFLUENCE OF 'MUSA SPP' FIBER INCLUSION ON STRENGTH AND SORPTION PROPERTIES
Abstract
This study investigates the impact of 'Musa spp' fiber inclusion on the strength and sorption properties of cement bonded particle board. Utilizing experimental methods, the research examines how the addition of 'Musa spp' fibers affects the mechanical strength and moisture absorption characteristics of the particle board. Results reveal insights into the potential of 'Musa spp' fibers as a reinforcement material in cement bonded particle board manufacturing, shedding light on its effectiveness in enhancing board performance and durability.
