Fungi growth on rattan board exposed to natural weathering

The objective of this study was to investigate the fungi growth on fabricated rattan board under 12 weeks’ exposure in natural weathering. The rattan powder was pressed using a hot-press machine to be turned into rattan boards and they were placed on a 45oC inclined rack at an open area. Longer expo...
