Influence of the Density in Binderless Particleboards Made from Sorghum
In order to fight climate change and decouple economic growth from material use, valorization of waste will be fundamental. Sorghum is one of the most important summer crops in the world. The non-edible parts of the plant, the stalks and leaves are left over and must be disposed of. This work proposes to use sorghum waste particles as a raw material to

Thermopressed Binderless Fiberboards from Post-Harvest Tomato and Maize Plants [PDF]
Post-harvest tomato plants were used to manufacture fireboards by thermopressing. Four plant materials were investigated: exhausted tomato plants ground to 5-10 mm (PHTr), tomato (PHT) and maize (PHM) plants ground to

A Review of Natural Fibers and Processing Operations for the Production of Binderless Boards
Decreasing wood supplies and the need for formaldehyde-free particleboard have become important issues. This has led to studies about the use of raw materials other than wood, along with the manufacture of particleboard without using any synthetic ...

Optimization of thermopressing conditions for the production of binderless boards from a coriander twin-screw extrusion cake [PDF]
A deoiled press cake resulting from twin-screw extrusion of coriander fruits was used as a raw material for the production of self-bonded boards. The operating parameters for thermopressing were varied and include the applied pressure (19.6–39.2 MPa ...

Binderless Particleboard Resistance to Termite Attack
Abstract Three particleboard types, including urea-formaldehyde (UF), melamine-formaldehyde (MF), and binderless, were made from three wood species, sengon (Paraserianthes falcataria), gmelina (Gmelina arborea), and mindi (Melia azedarach). Wood particle sizes of 10 to 20 mesh were manufactured for the 30 by 30 by 0.7-cm (length by width by ...

Fire-resistance, physical, and mechanical characterization of binderless rice straw particleboards [PDF]
Binderless rice straw particleboards were successfully manufactured by hot pressing at low temperatures (110 °C) while under pressure (2.6 MPa) using a three-step process. Two particle sizes were used: 0.25 to 1.00 mm and 0.00 to 0.25 mm. Three pressing times (15 min, 30 min, and 60 min) were studied. Eighteen types of boards were made.

Chemical changes in steam-pressed kenaf core binderless particleboard
The effects of chemical changes in kenaf core binderless particleboards on the bonding performance and thickness swelling of boards were investigated by chemical and spectroscopic analyses. Mild steam-injection treatments (0.6–1.0 MPa) caused significant degradation of hemicelluloses, lignin, and cellulose.

Investigation of the Structural Characteristics of Corn Stalk during Hot-Pressing
Corn stalk is one of the most abundant agricultural residues in China. In this experiment, corn stalks were hot-pressed to prepare formalin-free particleboard. Milled wood lignin (MWL) samples were isolated from original and hot-pressed corn stalks.
