Author(s): Manish Ranjan, DP Khali and Shweta Bhatt
Abstract: The concept of mixing particles and fibres of same species in lieu to achieve a board having strength of both particle and fibres was the idea of great interest of the present study. In the present study a hybrid board was prepared by mixing fibres and particles of poplar in equal ratio with urea formaldehyde at 8, 10 and 12% resin content and tested for physical and mechanical properties. The results showed that both physical and mechanical properties of hybrid board exhibited satisfactory results better than particle board based on Indian Standards and gave a possibility to replace particle to some extend by fibres in particle board.
