The main objectives of this study were to evaluate the biodegradation behaviour of experimental particleboard bonded with modified 30 % of PVOH, 70 % of Oil palm starch and 3 % of nano silicon dioxide (SiO2). ...

Silicon dioxide (SiO2) in nanoscale had been detected as waste product in river water for the past two decades and it is recently proven to have adverse effects toward human and animal health, the ecosystem and ...

Nanoporous heterogeneous AlSBA-15 (x) type aluminosilicate catalyst with different nSi/nAl ratios (x = 41, 129, and 210) was synthesized using hydrothermal method. ...

This study has simulated climate change impacts on the runoff processes of the Karnali River Basin of Nepal. Estimation of the variation of snowmelt contribution to streamflow in increased temperatures has been done. The ...

Rice field is one of the agriculture areas in Malaysia that is exposed to the usage of pesticide before the paddy planting phase, during vegetative phase and the post- harvesting phase. The study was to determine the water ...

Leachate contents from the landfill that infiltrate the liner may contaminate nearby groundwater and river. Hence, the liner material must be chosen properly so that pollutants can be retained as much as possible at ...

In this study, physical, mechanical and flame retardant properties of oil palm trunk particleboards were evaluated. The properties of oil palm trunk particleboards were compared with polylactic acid (PLA) added board, where ...

Phantom materials are important tools for quality control and dosimetry works in medical physics. The tannin-bonded Rhizophora spp. particleboards in were fabricated as phantom and the dosimetric properties at ...
