Fabricating Eco-friendly Binderless Fiberboard from Laccase-treated Rubber Wood Fiber

The emission of formaldehyde vapors from adhesives such as urea formaldehyde (UF) and phenol formaldehyde (PF) is a main concern for the wood composite industry. The ability of laccase enzymes to modify the fiber in pulp industries has given hope to the wood composite industry to prepare composites...
