“…This may be due to the higher bulk density of apple wood (510–600 kg m −3 ) [ 12 ]. To date, other unusual raw materials used in particleboard production include raspberry stems ( Rubus Idaeus L.) [ 13 ], sunflowers [ 14 ], bamboo branches and wastes [ 15 ], particles of the trunk and branches of the bhadi tree ( Lannea coromandelica ) [ 16 ], grape trees pruning residues [ 17 , 18 ], dry branches of Araucaria angustifolia ( Bertol .) [ 19 ], particles of Phoenix Dactylifera -L (Date Palm) [ 20 ], or chilli pepper steams [ 21 ].…”

A growing world population means that demand for wood-based materials such as particleboard is constantly increasing. In recent years, wood prices have reached record highs, so a good alternative can be the utilization of branches, which can reduce the cost of raw materials for particleboard production. The goal of the study was to confirm the feasibility of using an alternative raw material in the form of Pinus sylvestris L. pine branches for the production of three-layer particleboard. Characterization of the alternative raw material was also carried out, and the bulk density was determined. As part of the research, six variants of particleboard, 0%, 5%, 10%, 25%, and 50%, w/w, and two variants where the first one had the face layer made of branch particles and the core layer made of industrial particles, and the reverse variant (all produced panels were three-layer) were produced and then their physical and mechanical properties were studied. The results show that even if the bulk density of branch particles is significantly higher than industrial material, the internal bond and water absorption rises as branch particle content increases. In the case of bending strength and modulus of elasticity, these were decreased with a branch particle content increase. The conducted tests confirmed the possibility of using the raw material, which was usually used as fuel or mulch, to produce particleboards even in 50% content. The present solution also contributes to the positive phenomenon of carbon storage, due to incorporating the branches’ biomass into panels rather than burning it. Further research should be focused on the modification of particle production from branches to obtain lower bulk density and to reach fraction shares closer to industrial particles. Furthermore, the chemical characterization of the pine branch particles (cellulose and lignin content, extractives content, pH value) would provide valuable data about this potential alternative raw material.

“…The particleboard made of bamboo has advantages in terms of the availability of the raw material, which comes from a natural resource being renewable, fast-growing, and environmentally friendly. Furthermore, bamboo particles can be used as a raw material, thus allowing the use of waste from bamboo production processes as well as bamboo waste from fields [8][9][10][11]. China, Malaysia, Costa Rica, India, and Vietnam have already developed bamboo particleboards at commercial scale [2,12].…”

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

“…The use of different types of wood has also been studied, in which, bamboo wood stands out as a potential candidate. In the study [1], the authors presented the advantages and disadvantages of bamboo wood compared to other woods, as well as their potential for use in laminated wood technology. In the study [2], the authors presented the process of making plywood of bamboo wood pulp, the effect of particle size and pressing temperature on flexural strength, elastic module, and perpendicular tensile strength.…”
