Influence of density on selected properties of furniture particleboards made of raspberry Rubus idaeus L. lignocellulosic particles. The aim of the research was to determine the effect of density of three layer furniture particleboard, produced in laboratory conditions, in the three different densities: 500, 650 and 800 kg/m3, on their selected mechanical and physical properties. The fraction share of the particles used, as well as bulk density of the produced particles have been also measured. The tests have shown that with increasing density of the tested panels in the mentioned range, there is a significant improvement of mechanical parameters, but the thickness swelling of the panels unfavorably raises. The density increase causes also changes in density profile.

Selected properties of particleboard made of raspberry Rubus idaeus L. lignocellulosic particles. The aim of the research was to confirm the possibility of using lignocellulosic particles of raspberry Rubus idaeus L. stalks as an alternative raw material in particleboard technology. Within the scope of work, it was to produce particleboards from raspberry lignocellulosic particles in laboratory conditions, and to investigate selected mechanical and physical properties of the produced boards. In addition to the aforementioned tests, the characterization of the lignocellulosic raw material used in the tests (density, bark share, fractional composition) was carried out. The tests have shown that it is possible to produce the furniture particleboards with use the lignocellulosic particles of raspberry Rubus idaeus L. To meet the requirements of the European standards for furniture panels, such particleboards must contain less than 50% of raspberry particles with density 650 kg/m3 (due to the bending strength criterion).

The article analysed the results of comparative sampling of selected properties of concretes with addition of aggregates from sanitary ceramic wastes. For the need of the analyses there were created concretes of various w/c coefficients (0,35, 0,50, 0,75) and with diverse percentage participation of ceramic wastes aggregates (exchange of 50% and 100% coarse aggregates into ceramic). The range of performed samples and analyses included sampling of mechanical and physical properties of concretes and the aggregates used. What was under analysis: for aggregates – sampling of bulk density, absorbency, resistance to crushing; for concretes from ceramic wastes – sampling of density, absorbency, compressive strength, tensile strength and compressive strength after roasting. Roasting was performed according to defined temperature cycles: cycle I - from 0 to 150OC (vaporisation of free water), cycle II - from 150 to 550OC (separation of chemically combined water), cycle III - beyond 550OC (change of hydraulic combination into ceramic, sintering).

This study investigated the effects of the pressing temperature on the mechanical and physical properties of binderless bark particleboard made from Gelam bark waste and the improvement of those properties. In addition, the thermal insulation properties of the particleboard were determined. Four different temperatures (140 °C, 160 °C, 180 °C, and 200 °C) were used to make single-layer binderless bark particleboard with a target density of less than or equal to 0.59 g/cm3. Results revealed that the pressing temperature affected the mechanical properties (modulus of rupture, modulus of elasticity, and tensile strength perpendicular to panel surface), which increased as the temperature increased, and the physical properties (thickness swelling and water absorption), which decreased as the temperature increased. Based on the Tukey test, increasing the temperature from 180 to 200 °C did not significantly affect the mechanical or physical properties, except for the tensile strength perpendicular to panel surface. None of the mechanical properties met SNI standard 03-2105-2006 (2006); however, the 12% maximum thickness swelling requirement was met for binderless bark particleboard hot-pressed at 200 °C. Binderless bark particleboard hot-pressed at 200 °C had high water resistance, regardless of its low strength, and a thermal conductivity value of 0.14 W/m∙K.

Effect of firing temperature on some physico-mechanical properties of ten brick samples, those were composed by feldspars, quartz, alumina-rich spinel, primary mullite and hematite phases, was investigated in accordance with ASTM standards. The brick samples fired between 700° to 1100° C showed 11-23 % water adsorptivity (WA), 19-37 % apparent porosity (AP) and 1.50-1.65 g/cm3 bulk density (BD) indicate good physical properties. The maximum compressive strength (CS) of the fired-bricks at 950° to 1000° C was found to be between 15.6 and 17.1 MPa. At 700°-1000° C firing temperatures, the CS of these bricks is found to be increased exponentially with decreasing of both WA and AP, however it is found to be increased with increasing the BD. Consequently, it can be said that there is good correlation between mechanical and physical properties of the fired-brick samples up to the firing temperature of 1000° C. Bangladesh J. Sci. Ind.

Abstract The objective of this study was to investigate the lab-scale manufacturing process of insulation fiberboard (IFB) with cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) and evaluate the effects of CNFs on the mechanical and physical properties of the IFB. Because the fabricated IFBs with CNFs had a homogeneous appearance, it was assumed that CNFs can be easily dispersed within IFB by adding them during the mixing stage of the wet process of wood-based board production. The results for the IFBs with CNFs revealed that the density and bending properties increased, while the thickness decreased with an increase in the CNF addition ratio. Furthermore, after the water absorption test, the weight change rates of the IFBs decreased, and the thickness swelling rates increased. Although the size of the specimens was different from the size in JIS A 5905 (Japan Standards Association 2014), the modulus of rupture (MOR) values of IFBs with a target density more than or equal to 0.20 g/cm3 were higher than the value of A-class IFB in the standard for all CNF addition ratios. In addition, lower thermal conductivity may be realized under similar MOR values by adding CNFs to IFB. On the other hand, to produce CNF-reinforced IFBs with target density/thickness, it is necessary to develop a method for decreasing the cohesive force derived from CNF aggregation and the compressive force originating from the water surface tension caused by the high water retention of CNFs.

Bamboo is considered as environmentally and eco-friendly material compared to hardwood and nowadays bamboo veneer is getting very popular in the market. Bamboo veneer is suitable for many modern designs. The alternate layers of veneer bamboo (3 and 5 layers) were combined with fiberglass by using Epoxy resin (2% hardener) as bonding agent to produce PBFC at different pressure. Panels produced were assessed for the mechanical and physical properties such as MOE and MOR, thickness swelling (TS), and water absorption (WA) in accordance with the European Standard. Results revealed that strength performance of board improved with increasing pressure. Thickness swelling and water absorption values were much lower for the 5 layer composite Thus such findings revealed that bamboo veneer from Buluh betong possess great potential for the manufacture of bio-composite products.

The influence of particleboard resination on their internal bond strength. The aim of the project was to investigate the main mechanical and physical properties of particleboards, especially focused on internal bond, in terms of their resination. For the tests, the particleboards have been produced in laboratory conditions with the following glue content: 7, 10, 15, 30 and 50%. Particular attention was paid for examining the mechanical property – tensile strength perpendicular to surfaces (Internal Bond – IB). In addition, there were investigated modulus of elasticity (MOE), modulus of rupture (MOR) density and density profile. In the light of above mentioned tests, there is no positive effect of improvement of tested parameters when raise resination over 30% when producing particleboards. With the resination increase from 7 to 50% a significant change (densification) of panels’ structure, as well as differences between face and core layers density have been found.

In this study, bamboo polymer composites (BPC) reinforced with bamboo fibers were produced and analyzed. The effect of alkalization on the mechanical and physical properties of the composites were determined. Three levels of bamboo fiber content (10%, 20% and 30%) of alkali treated and untreated bamboo fibers were considered. Six replications of each type of test specimens were prepared and investigated under bending, tensile, water absorption and thickness swelling tests. From the results, increase in fiber content and alkali treatment of the fibers improved the mechanical properties of BPC. The value of water absorption (WA) and thickness swelling (TS) increased as the fiber content was increased and also as the fibers were treated. The value of WA and TS of the BPC with treated bamboo fibers were higher than the values for the BPC with untreated bamboo fibers.
