Abstract
Methods were developed to prepare gum solution from Tamarind seed of g ood adhesive strength. A composite material of Tamarind Seed gum and t he cellulosic rich sisal plant fibre was prepared and techniques were developed to increase the strength of the prepared composite material by a process of humidification and compression. The prepared composite material have potential industrial applications such as false roofing and room partitioning. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights rese rved.
