Angklung is used in conjunction with horse dance for some formal events. In addition, only certain species of bamboo are used in the production of angklung. However, angklung musical instruments are still less played, just a formal program compared to other modern musical instruments. If examined in more depth, angklung musical instruments are able to produce pop songs, ballads, dangdut, jazz, traditional rhythms, and much more. There are two objectives to this study. The first objective is to identify the causes of angklung that have no place in society today. The second objective is to analyze and summarize the findings of the study. The method of this study uses content analysis through; websites, articles, theses, and newspapers for scientific information. The findings of this study found a lack of hereditary heritage of angklung production and game in Malaysia. This study can track the development of angklung musical instruments in Malaysia. In conclusion, angklung musical instruments are still accepted by the community but there are obstacles from the materials and makers of angklung.

Dry bamboo strips and 4-mm-thick oil palm trunk veneer (OPTV) were processed into thin laminates and hot-pressed using urea formaldehyde resin to produce bamboo-OPTV hybrid biocomposites. Bamboo furniture is far more resistant to damage than traditional hardwoods. Bamboo is even used in cutting boards for this reason. Even though there have been some reports on the mechanical enhancement of the bamboo-based composites, so far there has been no comprehensive study on the screw pulling and flexural strength of bamboo-based hybrid composites. The results revealed a stronger correlation of the bamboo hybrid under screw withdrawal and flexural strength, but there was a weaker correlation in the mechanical properties of the bamboo hybrid due to the random selection of laminate from different bam...

Agricultural biomass is the plant residue left in the plantation field after harvesting. This lignocellulosic material possesses a composition, structure and properties that make them suitable to be used in various conventional and modern applications. This renewable plant waste is abundant, biodegradable, low cost and low density that could be a principal source for production of fibres, chemicals and other industrial products. The uses of these materials are not only limited to composite, paper and textile applications, but are also progressing immensely to many other unlimited applications such as medical, nano technology, biofuel and pharmaceutical. These expanding applications of agricultural biomass would not only help in reducing the environmental pollution but also provide an opportunity in developing renewable and sustainable material to be used in various advanced applications in the future. This would also help in generating employment and contributing to the improvement of people’s livelihood. The aim of this chapter is to discuss different types of agricultural biomasses with its present applications and future potentialities.

This has led researchers to find alternatives to develop sustainable and eco-friendly source of raw materials for this purpose. Agricultural biomass is a potential candidate regarding this due to their sheer abundance, low cost, biodegradability, inherently water resistance, fibrous structure, and mechanical properties. Furthermore, billions of tons of agricultural waste are released around the world through farming practices annually. Raw materials derived from agricultural biomass have great potential to be used in various applications including lamination that are beneficial to our environment. Therefore, the aim of this chapter is to discuss the type of laminated composites and their desired applications followed by physical and mechanical properties. Multilayered structures, hybrid fibers and materials, lamination manufacturing process, and application based on automotive, construction, furniture, and building are also widely discussed.

Two different species of bamboo were used including Dendrocalamus asper and Gigantochloa levis to explore their potential for furniture manufacturing. Influence of the bamboo species along with the different arrangements of lamination on the physical, mechanical and morphology properties of the hybrid laminated composites were investigated via scanning electron microscope (SEM), density, water absorption (WA), thickness swelling (TS) as well as impact and hardness strength test. Morphological study showed that filling up of surface cavity by adhesive improved the bonding strength between the surfaces of the bamboo strips and OPTV in the laminated hybrid composites. Additionally, different layer arrangements affected the mechanical properties, i.e., perpendicular arrangement exhibited higher strength compared to the parallel arrangement for both hardness and impact strength. The species of bamboo did not show significant impact on the density for different layer arrangements. Thus, test results clearly indicated that bamboo strips and OPTV hybrid composites could be used as an alternative to wood-based composites for furniture manufacturing.

The chemical compositions were determined by using Technical Association Pulp and Paper Industries standards. Fourier Transform-Infrared Spectroscopy analysis of PALF detect sharp band at 1,733 cm -1 , due to the absorption of carbonyl stretching of ester and carboxyl groups which is most abundant in pineapple leaf hemicelluloses. Cell wall ultra structure of PALF was studied by using Transmission electron microscopy. Transmission electron micrograph confirmed that cell wall structure of PALF consists of middle lamella, primary wall and secondary wall including S 1 , S 2 and S 3 layers. X-Ray Diffraction indicated that PALF have crystalline nature. Thermal analysis of PALF shows that T 10% and T 50% weight loss occurred at temperature of 212 and 306°C respectively. Differential Scanning Calorimetry of PALF showed the broad endothermic peak at a temperature of 80°C. The relationships between these properties were discussed and relate it with industrial application of pineapple leaf fibers.

Currently, design and quality rather than price are becoming the primary concern for consumers when buying new furniture. Within this context, this paper focuses on the design of innovative, sustainable furniture from agrobased biocomposites to meet the needs of future population growth and technology. This research also discusses the need for biocomposite materials that do not depend on the growth of populations, but on the growth and development of the economy. This study focuses on globally available agro-based biocomposites, especially those from oil palm biomass: plywood, medium density fiberboard (MDF), wood plastic composite (WPC), laminated veneer lumber (LVL), oriented strand board (OSB), hardboards, and particleboard. Additional positive aspects of biocomposites are their environmentally friendly character, high quality, competitive design, and capacity to improve the value proposition of high-end products. These attributes increase the demand for agro-based biocomposite furniture on the international market.
