Some of the Physical and Mechanical Properties of Particleboard Made from Betung Bamboo (Dendrocalamus asper)

The objective of this study was to evaluate various physical and mechanical properties experimental particleboard panels made from Asian giant bamboo (Dendrocalamus asper). Single layer having a density level 0.75 g/cm3 coarse fine particles were used within the scope study. Thickness swelling, water absorption, surface roughness, wettability characteristics samples tested as while bending, internal bond strength, screw withdrawal strength considered for their properties. Resistance against termite fungus also determined. Based on findings in work both resulted higher values than those with exception strength. It appears that using enhanced overall quality well wettability. Regarding biological deterioration samples, had better resistance. seems non-wood lignocellulosic species would have potential be raw material manufacture value added accepted characteristics.
