“…Though no significant difference was found across species except for particleboards bonded with PMDI, the resin type had a significant effect on the BS. The results obtained here UF resins corroborate with Barboutis and Philippou (2005) findings. They obtained BS values between 10.01 N/mm 2 and 13.48 N/mm 2 with five hardwood species (Arbutus unedo, Quercus ilex, Quercus coccifera, Erica arborea, and Philyrea latifolia) bonded with 8 % dry weight E2 UF resin.…”

The problem of climate change, coupled to the propagation of wood diseases (bark beetles for example), is leading to a shortage in softwood supply for the particleboard industries. Furthermore, the recent changes in the German forest policies which promote the conversion of coniferous forest into mixed stands are likely to enhance this phenomenon. There is, therefore, a growing need for research on possibilities of substituting the softwood with hardwood and other alternative material. For the first time, young six to seven years old Black locust (Robinia pseudoaccacia) stems from a short-rotation plantation were used at a laboratory scale with the objective of assessing the suitability of particleboard production. Four different variants were produced using different resin types: UF K350, UF K340, albumin, and PMDI, with a target density and thickness of 650 kg/m3 and 20 mm respectively for each board. The boards were tested regarding their mechanical (modulus of rupture, modulus of elasticity and internal bonding), physical (water absorption and thickness swelling) properties according to the European standard (EN 310, EN 317 and EN 319), and their formaldehyde content and emission following the EN 120 and EN 717. Industrial particles were used as reference material for the purpose of comparison. Promising bending strength was obtained with UF resins-bonded boards. The modulus of elasticity of all four variants fulfilled the EN 2003 requirements. The internal bond of the UF resins-bonded boards also met the general product standard, with values above 0.35 N/mm2. The bending strength and the internal bonding strength properties of the UF-bonded boards were superior to that of the reference boards produced with the industrial particles. Based on these results, black locust is a potential substitute for softwood in particleboard production and can be used in the industry as alternative raw material for panel production.

“…Some studies in the literature proposed that the wood of evergreen maquis species in the Mediterranean flora could be used as a raw material in the production of composite panels (Lacroix, 1973a(Lacroix, , 1973bTsoumis et al, 1988; Barboutis and Philippou, 2007;Lykidis et al, 2014;Güler and Yaşar, 2018).…”

Particleboard is one of the most important wood-based panel products on the market. The objectives of this study are to investigate the relationship between the density profile and some technological properties of particleboard and to determine the influences of press type, cold and hot press pressures, moisture content of the raw materials on the mechanical properties (modulus of rupture, modulus of elasticity and internal bond strength), physical properties (thickness swelling and density profile), and surface property (surface roughness) of three-layered particleboard composite. Based on the findings of this study, it appears that there exists a relationship between the density profile and technological properties of particleboard. The press type, cold and hot press pressures and moisture content of the raw materials are significantly found to be effective on all of the properties of the panels.
