This paper reviews the historic developments and provides some perspectives of carbonate
binders. Various carbonatable materials have been used to produce carbonate binders …

A large quantity of lignocellulosic wastes is generated worldwide from various sources such
as agriculture, construction, wood and furniture industries leading to environmental …

Because wood properties vary among species, between trees of the same species, and
between pieces from the same tree, solid wood cannot match reconstituted wood in the …

The properties of concrete using coconut shell as coarse aggregate were investigated in an
experimental study. Compressive, flexural, splitting tensile strengths, impact resistance and …

Over the last years promising cement bonded wood composites for structural purposes have
evolved. Durability, toughness, high dimensional stability, resistance against environmental …

Cellulose fiber reinforced cement provides desired longevity, fire resistance and life-cycle
economy, in addition to relatively high strength and toughness. An experimental …

The content of this chapter includes particle-based materials such as particleboard, extruded
particleboard, molded particleboard, oriented strand board (OSB), and cement-bonded …

This study deals with the effects of curing treatment with gaseous and supercritical carbon
dioxide on the properties of cement-bonded particleboard (CBP) manufactured by the …

The possibility of recycling waste medium density fiberboard (MDF) into wood–cement
composites was evaluated. Both new fibers and recycled steam exploded MDF fibers had …

The technical properties of three layered cement-bonded boards (CBBs) made from
wastepaper and sawdust were investigated. The CBBs were produced at three density …
