“…Several studies on the experimental manufacture and particleboard quality using different bamboo species and wood particles, isolated or mixed, have been carried out; for example, those conducted by Vital & Haselein (1988), Calegari et al (2007), Arruda et al (2011), Morais (2011), Melo et al (2014, Valarelli et al (2014), Morais et al (2015), Nurhazwani et al (2016). Among these studies, only that carried out by Nurhazwani et al (2016) used Dendrocalumus asper bamboo, and none of them addressed the influence of particle size on panel properties.…”
