Corn cob is considered an agricultural bio-waste that can be reused and incorporated in the building industry as a thermal insulation material. However, more research required to obtain detailed analysis what concerns materials' performance using this waste raw material and, consequently, their sustainability profile. In context, study aims evaluate behaviour environmental impact of two differe...

the aim of this study was to explore the minimum amount of urea formaldehyde (uf) resin content and optimum particleboard density while maintaining boards’ quality to reduce production costs. board density at three levels (520, 620 and 720 kg m-3) and resin content (6, 7 and 8%) were variable parameters. stepwise multivariate linear regression models were used to evaluate the influence of board...

gypsum-bonded particleboard panels were made from various mixture of bagasse (saccharum ossicinarum l.) and wheat (oryza sativa l.) straw particles bonded with different ratio level of particles/gypsum. this study examined possible feasibility of bagasse and wheat straw particles in the production of gypsum-bonded particleboard (gbpb). one-layer experimental gbpb with density of 1.05 and 1.20 g...

this research was conducted to investigate the effect of acetylation on weathering resistance of solid wood and particleboard produced from acetylated particles of fagus orientalis. after 12 hours soaking in acetic unhydride, in order to achieve three levels of weight gain, 5, 9 and 16%, acetylated particles of bech wood were heated in oven at 120oc for 30, 90 and 240 minutes, respectively. als...

The objective of this study was the evaluation feasibility producing particleboard for general use using cotton gin waste generated in Argentina and urea formaldehyde resin. chemical composition size distribution particles ginning residue as well mechanical physical properties particleboards obtained were investigated. Density flexural strength produced with varying levels urea-formaldehyde res...
