Effect Of Different Wood Flake Chip Species On The Characteristic Features Of Cement-Bonded Particle Boards
Abstract
This paper presents technical properties of the cement-bonded particle boards produced with different types of woods. Cement-bonded particle board (CBPB) is a composite product that is produced by pressing a mixture of wooden particles (chips/flakes) and Portland cement as the binding agent and hydration additives. A comprehensive experimental research work was carried out to analyse the technical properties of the cement-bonded particle boards produced with the chip and flake components obtained from different types of woods. In this research, some technical parameters such as physical sizes, material matrix structures, wood-cement compatibility, mechanical strength and stability properties were examined. Some research findings are presented here and the effects of these parameters on the use of the product were also discussed.
