The synthesis of bromo derivatives cardanolic novolac resins (BCNR) using infrared, thermogravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, gel permeation chromatography, nuclear magnetic resonance 1 H and 13 C methods was studied. The mechanism of thermal degradation of BCNR is proposed. It is shown, that particleboards manufactured using PU-(BCNR) as an adhesive are materials with enhanced flame retardant properties, meeting the requirements of P7 class to EN 312 (especially durable moistureresistant particleboards) and the requirements of the emission class Super E0. The bromine in the structure of the cardanolcontaining polyurethane binder allows achieving both high physical and mechanical characteristics of the particleboards and resistance to flame.

We introduced the preparation of hybrid composites using technical cellulose as a matrix material from rice husks with a natural SiO 2 content from 0% to 19.4%. In this work, the physicochemical characteristics of the resulting hybrid composites have been investigated. The presence of SiAOAC chemical bonds in the resulting hybrid composites was determined by infrared spectroscopy. Microscopic analysis showed the complete removal of the mineral component and lignin from the cell wall of the rice husk fibers. This allows obtaining of an expanded surface of the fibers (101.7 m 2 /g) with uniform distribution of the TiO 2 aggregates. It could be shown that with content increasing of natural silicon dioxide in the hybrid composite the decomposition rate of H 2 O 2 also increases.
