In this study, the effect of mat moisture content on the physical and mechanical properties of particleboard was investigated. The experimental boards were produced by using 40 % softwood, 45 % hardwood chips, and 15 % sawdust. The formaldehyde resin/adhesive was used in three-layers (bottom-top layer 12 %, core layer 8 %). Multi-opening press was used during manufacturing the experimental particleboards. The physical and mechanical properties of boards obtained were identified according to the TS-EN standards. The optimum core layer moisture content was determined as 6 % and 7 % according to the results, whereas the moisture content of bottom and top layers was 14 %. Under these moisture content conditions, the bending strength was found to be 13.3 N/mm², the modulus of elasticity in bending 2466 N/mm², and internal bonding strength 0.44 N/mm². The optimum bottom-top layer moisture content was determined to be between 13 % and 15 % and 6.5 % for the core layer.

The Impact

An attempt to use „Tetra Pak” waste material in particleboard technology. The study investigates the effect of addition Tetra Pak waste material in the core layer on physical and mechanical properties of chipboard. Three-layer chipboards with a thickness of 16 mm and a density of 650 kg / m3 were manufactured. The share of Tetra Pak waste material in the boards was varied: 0%, 5%, 10% and 25%. The density profile was measured to determine the impact of Tetra Pak share on the density distribution. In addition, the manufactured boards were tested for strength (MOR, MOE, IB), thickness swelling and water absorption after immersion in water for 2 and 24 hours. The tests revealed that Tetra Pak share does not affect significantly the value of static bending strength and modulus of elasticity of the chipboard, but it significantly decreases IB. Also, it has been found that Tetra Pak insignificantly decreases the value of swelling and water absorption of the chipboards.

The Given

The paper summarizes results of an institutional research aimed at assessing the bending strength and modulus of elasticity in bending of exterior foiled combined and all-beech plywoods in relation to their construction. A relationship was studied of the plywood construction and selected physical and mechanical properties. In studied sheets, moisture, density, bending strength and modulus of elasticity were analysed along and across the grain of the upper veneer. All measurements were carried out in water-resistant plywoods with surface treatment with a phenolformaldehyde foil 8, 10, 12 and 15 mm thick in combined plywoods and 10, 12, 15 and 18 mm thick in all-beech plywoods. The construction of plywoods significantly influences their quality that is determined particularly by the bending strength and modulus of elasticity. Using regression analysis relationships were demonstrated particularly that with the increasing moisture content of plywoods the bending strength decreased and with the increasing density the bending strength and modulus of elasticity increased. The same trend was also proved in connection with the increasing number of veneers of plywood sheets. Using correlation analysis, combinations of interrelationships of the given properties were statistically tested.

The objective of this research is to evaluate the effect of the number of composite layers on the quality of the composite board from sago bark waste and plastic waste, and the number of composite layers that produce the best quality on composite board. The composite board is made with size 30 cm x 30 cm x 1 cm. The composition and division of the material was carried out manually with the polypropylene distribution divided into three parts: the front and rear respectively of 15%, and the center 70% of the plastic weight. Target density of composite boards was 0.7 g / cm3. The treatment used is based on the number of layers composing, which is 5 layers, 7 layers, 9 layers, 11 layers and 13 layers. After mixed the sago bark particle and waste of polypropylene, the materials then compressed with hot press at 180oC with pressure about ± 25 kg / cm2 for 10 minutes. The composite boards then tested the quality included physical and mechanical properties. Testing of physical and mechanical properties refers to JIS A 5908-2003 standard. Physical properties consist of density, moisture content, thickness swelling, and water absorption. Mechanical properties consist of modulus of rupture, modulus of elasticity, internal bonding, and modulus of screw holding strength. The study used a completely randomized design experiment consisting of 5 treatments and 3 replications. The results showed the average value of composite density was range between 0.6962 – 0.7896 g/cm3, the moisture content was range between 4.3388 % - 6.8066%, the thickness swelling was range between 8.2605% - 11.9615%, and water absorption was range between 17.2380% - 22.3867%. The average value of modulus of rupture was range between 60,0632 kg/cm2 – 64,4068 kg/cm2, the modulus of elasticity was range between 17935,1813g/cm2 – 32841,8278 kg/cm2, the internal bonding was range between 1,9268 kg/cm2  - 5,4119 kg/cm2, and the modulus of screw holding strength was range between 78,2530 kg/cm2 – 92,9677 kg/cm2. The composite board made from sago stem bark waste and polypropylene waste plastic with 13 layers treatment is the best composite board and fulfilled the JIS A 5908-2003 standard.

This study examined the effects of selected types of thermoplastics on the physical and mechanical properties of polymer-triticale boards. The investigated thermoplastics differed in their type (polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), polystyrene (PS)), form (granulate, agglomerate) and origin (native, recycled). The resulting five-ply boards contained layers made from different materials (straw or pine wood) and featured different moisture contents (2%, 25%, and 7% for the face, middle, and core layers, respectively). Thermoplastics were added only to two external layers, where they substituted 30% of straw particles. This study demonstrated that, irrespective of their type, thermoplastics added to the face layers most favorably reduced the hydrophobic properties of the boards, i.e., thickness, swelling, and V100, by nearly 20%. The bending strength and modulus of elasticity were about 10% lower in the experimental boards than in the reference ones, but still within the limits set out in standard for P7 boards (20 N/mm2 according to EN 312).

Abstract The modulus of elasticity in bending and the bending strength of the face and core layer of particleboard and medium density fiberboard (MDF) were determined. Three directions of longitudinal axis of test specimens were considered: the direction of the mat forming, the direction perpendicular to it, and the direction perpendicular to the panel plane. The experiments were carried out on specimens that were prepared with strips of layers separated from the panels and glued into laminated assemblies. The bending properties of the core and face layer of the tested panels differed considerably. The core layer properties were on average more than 4 times smaller for particleboard and almost 3 times smaller for MDF. The relative differences between the bending properties were greater than the differences between the densities of the layers. The bending properties of the layers were almost isotropic in the planes of layers and very strongly anisotropic in the planes perpendicular to layers. The modulus of elasticity of the tested panels was calculated for the axis corresponding to the mat forming direction. The calculations were performed on the basis of the moduli of panel layers and based on the layered system theory. The results were compared with the modulus determined directly for entire panels. The relative difference between the compared moduli was found to be very small for both tested panels.

Formaldehyde-based resins are conventionally used as a binder in formulation of particleboard. Epidemiologic studies have shown that formaldehyde is carcinogenic. Efforts to reduce the health hazard effects of the fomaldehyde-based resin in the particleboard formulation have included use of scavengers for formaldehydes and use of an alternative binder. Use of scavengers for the formaldehyde increases the cost and maintenance of particleboard formulation. There is no proof that scavengers eliminate the emission of formaldehyde from particleboard. Use of biobased binders in particleboard formulation provides an alternative for eliminating use of the formaldehyde-based resin. However, the alternative is hindered by challenges, which include limitations of physical and mechanical properties. The challenge has continuously been acted upon through research. The paper presents an overview of the use of starch as an alternative binder. Improvement over time of the starch and limitations thereof requires to be addressed. Use of the modified starch has shown increased particleboard performance. Mechanical strength, such as modulus of rupture, modulus of elasticity, and internal bonding in particleboards, however, remains to be a challenge.

Acacia Hybrid

Utilisation of forest plantation species such as Acacia hybrid has been used in wood-based industry as an alternative to solid wood that was usually attained from natural forest. While, the under-utilised species such as Mangifera sp. is not often been used as raw material for wood products, in this study, laminated veneer lumber (LVL) has been produced from Acacia hybrid and Mangifera sp. The physical and mechanical properties of LVL were determined and compared. For physical testing, the range value of moisture content was 9.41% to 14.56%, Density was 487.90 kg/m3 to 699.10 kg/m3, thickness swelling was between 0.20% to 6.05%, water absorption between 32.71% to 91.25%, and rate of delamination from 0% to 100%. Mangifera sp. LVL has higher moisture content, rate of delamination, and water absorbency. In mechanical testing, it is been found that Acacia hybrid LVL has overall higher strength compared to Mangifera sp. LVL, in terms of static bending strength (MOR and MOE), shear strength, and compression strength. Range of value for MOR was between 10.27 N/mm2 to 129.99 N/mm2, MOE between 1138 N/mm2 to 16472.93 N/mm2, shear strength between 0.43 N/mm2 to 3.40 N/mm2, and compression between 139.45 N/mm2 to 6749.74 N/mm2. For physical testing, the overall result of p-value for moisture content, water absorption, and delamination were significant at p ≤ 0.05, while density and thickness swelling were not significant at p ≥ 0.05. For overall result, the p-value for static bending strength (MOR and MOE) was significant at p ≤ 0.05 while for shear strength and compression strength were not significant at p ≥ 0.05.

Timber Market

Declining availability of the prime economic species in the Nigerian timber market has led to the introduction of Lesser-Used Species (LUS) as alternatives. Their acceptability demands information on the technical properties of their wood. The aim of this study was to investigate the mechanical properties of Ficus vallis-choudae to determine its potential for timber. Three mature Ficus vallis-choudae trees were selected and harvested from a free forest area in Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria. Samples were collected from the base (10%), middle (50%), and top (90%) along the sampling heights of each tree, which was further partitioned into innerwood, centrewood, and outerwood across the sampling radial position. Investigations were carried out to determine the age, density, moisture content, impact strength, modulus of elasticity, modulus of rupture, compressive strength parallel-to-grain, and shear strength parallel-to-grain. The mean impact bending strength, modulus of rupture, modulus of elasticity, maximum shear strength parallel-to-grain, and maximum compression strength parallel-to-grain for Ficus vallis-choudae at 12% moisture content were 20.4 N/mm2, 85.8 N/mm2, 709 N/mm2, 10.7 N/mm2, and 33.6 N/mm2, respectively. The study found the species to be dense with high strength properties in comparison with well-known timbers used for constructional purposes.

Glycerol Mono

The problem of stabilizing the properties of the urea-formaldehyde binder during storage is relevant for both glued products and resins. Changing the performance of the resin during storage makes it difficult to apply a binder and leads to a deterioration in the physical and mechanical properties of plywood. The effect of glycerol, mono- and triethanolamine, as well as a mixture of glycerol and monoethanolamine on the nominal viscosity of the resin after 56 days of storage, has been studied. The use of glycerol and monoethanolamine (including in the complex) reduces the nominal viscosity of the resin by 13.5-24.8%. The use of triethanolamine as a stabilizer makes it possible to reduce the nominal viscosity by 35% in comparison with the index of an unstabilized oligomer. Mechanical properties of FC plywood based on the stabilized and unstabilized binder has been studied. It was found that glycerol additive (or glycerol in combination with monoethanolamine) significantly reduces strength characteristics of plywood, which makes it irrational to use these stabilizers. The addition of 0.2% triethanolamine to CFS allows a 35% reduction in the nominal viscosity of the resin, while the cohesive strength of the binder decreases by 1.5%. The result is within the framework of the dispersion of the indicator, i.e. strength reduction is negligible. The static bending strength of plywood with a stabilized triethanolamine binder is more important than that of control specimens without the addition of stabilizers. The results of the study enable to recommend the addition of triethanolamine in an amount of 0.2% by weight of urea-formaldehyde resin as a rational stabilizer
