| Abstract: | This study presents particle boards made from low cost
agro-wastes (date palm leaf and jute stick). Particle boards
from jute stick, date palm leaf and their blends offered
higher sound transmission loss, higher thermal insulation and lower
swelling than plywood. Date palm leaf particle board
showed highest strength, whereas board based on blend (1:1) of date palm
leaf and jute stick gave highest impact strength. |
