The limited availability of high-quality timber and the increasing demand for wood-based panels have encouraged the exploration of alternative and sustainable lignocellulosic resources. Rattan waste is abundant in Indonesia; however, its low mechanical strength and limited durability restrict its direct application in composite materials. This study investigated the effect of furfuryl alcohol (FA) modification and different adhesive systems on the performance of rattan-based particleboard. Ratta
