Mechanical and water-resistant properties of rice straw fiberboard bonded with chemically-modified soy protein adhesive

, 140 °C and 6 MPa, respectively, the panels have optimal mechanical and water-resistant performances. Moreover, the panels meet the requirements of chinese medium density fiberboard (MDF) Standard of GB/T 11718-2009. Since biological raw materials are recyclable and biomass, the fiberboard bonded with modified soy protein adhesive has no toxicity and is easily biodegradable. In addition, the rice straw burned to produce haze has been preferably utilized.
