The depletion of log resources encourages research into alternative ways to sustain the wood supply. Therefore, 4-year-old Rubber Research Institute Malaysia (RRIM) clones series, RRIM 2020 and 2025, were chosen as potential raw materials for particleboard in this study. purpose study was assess effects planting density rubber tree on mechanical physical properties single-layer particleboard. d...

the application of stepwise multivariate-linear regression models for determination of particleboard properties based on structural factors was studied. poplar (populus alba), beech (fagus orientaleis) and hornbeam wood (carpinus betulus) with dry density of 460, 630 and 790 kg/m3,respectively, were used as raw materials. three levels of boards target density (520, 620 and 720 kg m-3) and urea ...

effects were studied of 200 ppm silver and copper nano-suspensions, with size range from 20 to 80 nm, on the hardness of particleboards produced at an industrial scale at the iran-choob factory, iran. metal nano-suspensions were added to the mat at two levels of 100 and 150 milli-liters/kg dry weight wood particles, and the results were compared with those of the control panels. results showed ...
