Physical and mechanical properties of medium density fibreboards from bamboo and tallow wood fibres

The objective of this study was to investigate the physical and mechanical characteristics of MDF manufactured from three Honduran bamboo species ( Dendrocalamus aspera, Bambusa arundinacea and Guadua angustifolia ), Chinese tallow tree wood ( Sapium sebiferum ), or a mixture bamboo and tallow fibres (mixed) bonded with urea formaldehyde resin. Experimental results showed that modulus of rupture (MOR) and modulus of elasticity (MOE) of bamboo/tallow mixed fibreboard is favourable.
