Abstract
Rubberwood meal was reacted with maleic anhydride (MAH). The treated s ample was mixed with diallyl phthalate (DAP) prior to hot pressing. Ge nerally, all modified samples performed well in all tests conducted. M odified samples showed greater stability in water than the untreated. Infra-red spectroscopy indicated that the unsaturated maleate componen ts reacted with DAP.
