Bamboo particleboards: recent developments

ABSTRACT Due to the high dimensional variation of bamboo, the manufacturing of materials such as plywood and laminated bamboo produces a high amount of residues. The production of particleboards could be used to overcome this problem and become a viable solution to reuse the generated waste as a raw material to high value-added products. This study aimed to present an overview of the bamboo particleboard production, as well as the mechanical and physical properties of this material, followed by a review of the advances in its research and development. In general, independently of the resin or bamboo species utilization, several bamboo particleboards meet the mechanical properties requirements of international standards for wood-based medium-density particleboards. The main focus of this study is to provide a review, in order to support research groups interested in using new bamboo-based materials for the development of manufactured durable products.

摘要：由于竹子存在较高的尺寸变异性，胶合板、重组竹等材料的生产过程会产生大量残余废料。竹质刨花板的生产可解决这一问题，成为将所产生的废料作为原料回收利用、制备高附加值产品的可行方案。本研究旨在概述竹质刨花板的生产工艺，以及该材料的物理与力学性能，并对其研发进展进行综述。总体而言，无论所使用的胶黏剂类型或竹材种类如何，多款竹质刨花板均满足木质中密度刨花板的国际标准力学性能要求。本研究的核心目标是提供一篇综述，以期为有意使用新型竹基材料开发耐用制成品的研究团队提供参考。
