Impact of Drying Method on the Physical Test and the Mechanical Properties of OPB
Considering the strength of board samples, it was found that the drying of microwave drying significantly higher than that of convective drying from Table 1 and 2. The Oven-dry Density and % shrinkage of the board samples at the end of processing was in the range 265-416, 15.42–53.69%, respectively.This is because microwave drying to excitation of molecular vibrations
