Title: Mechanical Properties of Particleboard Made from Rice Husk
Abstract: This study was conducted to develop particleboard formed from rice husk particles by hot pressing with a PVA (Polyvinyl alcohol) binder. A preform was prepared using mixed rice husk particles, PVA powder, and purified water. The rice husk particle and the PVA binder contents were fixed at 80:20. The rice husk particleboard was fabricated using the hot pressing method. The flexural strength and modulus of resulting particleboard were investigated. Results showed that mainly, the rice husk particleboard satisfied the reference flexural strength (flexural strength is 13 MPa or more) of base type 13 particleboard according to JIS A 5908. However, it exceeded the reference density even for flexural modulus higher than 2.5 GPa.
