Structural and chemical compositional characteristics of rubberwood with gelatinous fibre distribution in the tension and opposite wood

Key Points

• Rubberwood exhibits distinct structural characteristics due to the distribution of gelatinous fibers, especially in tension wood.
• Chemical analysis showed notable variations in composition between tension wood and opposite wood types in rubberwood specimens.
• The assessment focused on the fiber distribution pattern, indicating critical implications for wood processing and utilization.
• Understanding these characteristics may enhance the use of rubberwood in construction and furniture industries.
