| Abstract | |
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the physical and mechanical properties of particleboard made with pruning wastes from Ipe (Tabebuia serratifolia) and Chapeu-de-Sol (Terminalia catappa) trees. Particleboards were prepared with both wood species, using all the material produced by grinding the pruning wastes. The particleboards had dimensions of 45x45 cm, a thickness of approximately 11.5 mm and an average density of 664 kg/m(3). A urea-formaldehyde adhesive was used in the proportion of 12% of the dry particle mass. The particleboards were pressed at a temperature of 130 degrees C for 10 mins. The physical and mechanical properties analyzed were density, moisture content, thickness swelling, percentage of lignin and cellulose, modulus of resilience, modulus of elasticity and tensile strength parallel to the grain, accordingly to the standards NBR 14810 and CS 236-66 (1968). The particleboards were considered to be of medium density. The particle size significantly affected the static bending strength and tensile strength parallel to the grain. Ipe presented better results, demonstrating a potential for the production and use of particleboard made from this species. (AU) | |
