Abstract
This study showed that UF: EMDI formulations can be successfully used, as an alternative of the pure isocyanate resin, to manufacture acceptable wood–straw composites. Regression analysis (R 2 values) showed that there were strong relationships between UF fortification with EMDI and board properties and that these relationships all appeared to be linear over the fortification level used in this study.
