Effects of nano-wollastonite (NW) on physical and mechanical properties of medium density fiberboard (MDF) were studied. NW was applied at 5, 10, 15, and 20 g/kg dry weight basis of wood fibers; the results were then compared with control specimens. Two application methods of NW were used: surface and internal applications. Density was kept constant at 0,67 g/cm3 for all treatments and tests we...

This is the second part of an article series where the mechanical and fracture mechanical properties of medium density fiberboard (MDF) were studied. While the first part of the series focused on internal bond strength and density profiles, this article discusses the fracture mechanical properties of the core layer. Fracture properties were studied with a wedge splitting setup. The critical str...

The aim of this paper was to determine the particle size composition wood dust emission from CNC milling natural and medium-density fiberboard (MDF) evaluate associated occupational exposure risks. is focused on some most commonly used materials in woodworking furniture industry, i.e., solid (beech, oak, spruce) composite (MDF panels). In addition influence machined material, effect technical-t...
