Abstract
Abstract Discrete, cellulose containing, rice hull particles are impregnated with a monomer, usually a liquid, having a radiation activatable reaction group, molded under pressure to place the particles in substantially touching relation and form an article, and subjected to high-intensity ionizing radiation to polymerize the monomer and bind the particles into an object of stable shape. Additionally, the monomer may be selected to produce objects that are rigid and hard or flexible and resilient. A composite layered article is also disclosed.
