Due to the growing environmental concern, lignocellulosic
materials have become a common substitute for the conventional reinforcement
element in composite strcutures. However, these natural sources are preferred
to cost efficient and to increase mechanical performances. In a cement bonded
composites, wood is incorporated as an aggregate in the mineral matrix (as
fibres, sawdust, shavings or particles), and cement acts as a binder. These are
employed due to their ease of production, and the enhanced biodegradability,
leading to applications for sustainable purposes in construction applications. Wood-cement
composites are considerably better performance on high fire, weathering and
bio-deterioration risk applications to which solid wood and resin bonded
composites are vulnerable. However, the vast of literature on cement-wood
bonded composites has already been reviewed and pointed by a number of researchers.
Many valuable fundamental informations have already established for utilizing
wood for these products. A comprehensive results was to investigate some wood
species that are abundant resources in many countries, for their suitability
for manufacturing such composites.
