Cornboard
| Division: | Biotechnology | | Category: | Senior | | Region: | Victoria County | | City: | Woodville, ON | | School: | Fenelon Falls S.S. | | Abstract: | As the rate of deforestation increases, a new fibre is needed to replace wood. Corn residue is a viable alternative. Replicating the procedure of wood based particleboard, a corn based fibreboard can be produced. The pressed fibreboard shares many of the physical aspects of particleboard, without the health concerns. |
