Properties of Bark Particleboard Bonded with Demethylated Lignin Adhesives Derived from <i>Leucaena leucocephala</i> Bark

“…Fine bark particles have a higher surface area-to-volume ratio, enabling them to absorb and retain more moisture compared to coarse bark particles [68]. Coarse bark particles, on the other hand, have a smaller surface area but a larger volume, limiting their moisture absorption and retention capabilities [71]. It is important to note that the moisture content of any bark particle can be influenced by various factors, such as environmental conditions, humidity levels, drying methods, and storage conditions [72].…”
