Mycelium, as the root of fungi, is composed of filamentous strands of fine hyphae that bind discrete substrate particles into a block material. With advanced processing, dense mycelium-bound composites (DMCs) resembling commercial particleboards can be formed. However, their mechanical properties and performance under the working conditions of particleboards are unknown. Here, we show how weathering conditions affect the DMC stress and elastic modulus. DMC was made using Ganoderma lucidum mycelium grown on a substrate of sawdust and empty fruit bunch. The DMC was then subjected to weathering under tropical conditions over 35 days and tested under flexural, tensile, and compressive loading with reference to international standards. After exposure to specified weathering conditions, the maximum stress in flexure, tension, and compression decreased substantially. The addition of a protective coating improved the resistance of DMC to weathering conditions; however, the difference between coated and uncoated samples was only found to be statistically significant in tensile strength.

“…These solutions are usually associated with more efficient use of available raw materials, for example, by production of materials of reduced density, use of recycled materials or of lower quality (Han et al 2006;Hermawan et al 2007;Mirski and Dziurka 2011), or by using other wood species that are currently not used to produce these materials. The replacement of the main raw material with alternate solutions can be described by three fundamental directions: introduction into production species not classified as forest-forming, but common in a given area (Shupe et al 2001;Zaidon et al 2007;Cheng et al 2012), introduction into production of fast-growing tree species and establishing their plantations (Arruda et al 2011;de Araújo et al 2011;Rafighi and Tabarsa 2011;Khanjanzadeh et al 2012;de Almeida et al 2017), introduction into production of species other than trees (Boquillon et al 2004;Guler and Ozen 2004;Li et al 2010;Azizi et al 2011;Li et al 2011;Park et al 2012;Bekhta et al 2013;Dziurka and Mirski 2013).…”

This study examined the manufacture of flat-pressed wood plastic composites (WPC) using rape chips glued with polymeric diphenylmethane diisocyanate (pMDI). Manufactured boards were of 5-ply type, with 30% polyethylene (PE) content in individual layers. The following properties were assessed: modulus of rupture (MOR); modulus of elasticity (MOE); internal bonding strength (IB); thickness swelling (TS) after 24 hours; water absorption (WA); and noise reduction effectiveness. The tests revealed better physical and mechanical properties of polymer-particle boards than similar polymer and rape boards. It was also demonstrated that a change in mechanical properties of polymer and lignin-cellulose boards is strongly associated with polymer location in individual board layers, and that greater porosity of wood material ensures better polymer anchoring in its structure, when compared with rape straw particles.

“…A good bonding would result in the board with low thickness swelling and vice versa (Izani et al 2012). While the low IB values indicates that the particles were not bonded strongly together, therefore, high volume of water were easily penetrated into spaces between particles of the porous structure (Zaidon et al 2007). Both AC4 and PG4 obtained the highest IB strength and lowest thickness swelling value in this study (refer to Figs.…”

“…The abundant availability of OPEFB has gained continuous interest among researchers and is potentially considered as the main candidate to substitute woody materials due to the shortage of resources. However, until today OPEFB is hardly accepted by particleboard manufacturers due to the hygroscopic characteristics of the OPEFB fibre itself (Ismail et al 2012).Without any treatment, particleboard made from OPEFB is unable to achieve the JIS A 5908 standard on the physical and mechanical properties of particleboard, including tensile strength, internal bonding, water absorption, thickness swelling, and density (Zaidon et al 2007). It is impossible to develop a market for OPEFB particleboard without overcoming these restrictive parameters.…”

The efficacy of additional water-soluble additives was studied relative to the physical and mechanical properties of particleboards produced from oil palm empty fruit bunch (OPEFB). Polyethylene glycol, acrylamide, and acrylic resin were selected as water-soluble additives for use in the OPEFB particleboard production process. The effects of the three additives at two different concentrations (2% and 4% of dry OPEFB mass) on the particleboard properties were evaluated. Addition of water-soluble additives increased the performance of the OPEFB particleboard. The additive concentration has a significant effect on the properties of the particleboard. With the increase of additive concentration, the internal bonding and modulus of rupture value increased while the thickness swelling and water absorption decreased. Particleboards with an additional 4% of acrylamide or polyethylene glycol achieved the highest modulus of rupture (22 MPa), highest internal bonding strength (1 N/mm2), and lowest thickness swelling (9%). All the particleboards produced with 4% of water-soluble additive achieved the standard requirements of JIS A 5908:2003 for physical and mechanical properties.
