Cunninghamia lanceolata, lignocellulosic materials, internal bonding, adhesive content.Abstract
This work aimed to evaluate the quality of particleboards made with different formulations, varying adhesive content and rice husk (Oryza sativa L.) proportions added to Cunninghamia lanceolata wood. Three adhesive contents (6, 9 and 12%) and three proportions of rice husk added to wood (25, 50 and 75%) were combined resulting in 9 formulations of particleboards. In order to analyze the influence of each raw material in the final quality of the boards, their chemical composition was determined, including extractive, ash, lignin and holocellulose contents. Regarding the particleboards, the following physical and mechanical properties were evaluated: water absorption (WA), thickness swelling (TS), internal bonding (IB), parallel compression (PC), modulus of elasticity (MOE) and modulus of rupture (MOR) in static bending. For both mechanical and physical properties, average values showed that lower rice husk proportions and higher adhesive contents induced to better performance. Low lignin and high ash contents found in rice husks negatively influenced particleboard quality. Among the formulations tested, the inclusion of 25% of rice husk and 9% urea-formaldehyde presented the best results. Particleboards produced in this work are potential alternatives for general applications in dry conditions that do not require high mechanical resistance. Nevertheless, the process and formulations need to be adjusted in order to reach the requirements for more demanding structural applications.
