N2 - In this research, oil palm trunk biocomposites produced by impregnating dried oil palm trunk with phenol formaldehyde resin. Peripheral region of oil palm trunk bottom parts kiln dried until it attain 13%-15% moisture content, after that dried oil palm trunk impregnated with phenol formaldehyde resin by using high pressure vessel. In this study, impact and compression properties of oil palm trunk biocomposites studied. It observed that impregnation of oil palm trunk with phenol formaldeyde resin improves the impact and compression properties of oil palm trunk biocomposites. The oil palm trunk biocomposite with 60% resin loading showed better mechanical performance as compared to other oil palm trunk biocomposites but still lower than rubberwood. Scanning electron microscope used to study the surface morphology of oil palm trunk, and location of resin in the oil palm trunk biocomposites at different resin loading. The phenol formaldehyde resin showed better interaction in oil palm trunk impregnated with 60% resin loading and resin penetration still retain the original dried oil palm trunk structure.
