Abstract
This paper discusses the influence of three different content levels of fine strands in the core layers on the physical and mechanical properties of European beech and poplar oriented strand boards (OSB). The results show that increasing the fines content in the core layer from 10 to 50 %, based on total board weight has no significant effect on bending strength and modulus of elasticity (MOE). All panels exceeded the minimum requirement for bending strength and MOE set by EN standards. The highest modulus of rupture (MOR) and modulus of elasticity (MOE) was determined for panels solely made of poplar with different level of fines content. Increasing the amount of fines in the core layer raised the internal bond (IB). Panels made with 30 % fines in the core layer showed highest internal bond strength values. As the fines content increased from 10 to 50 %, thickness swelling decreased. Water absorption after 24 h showed the same declining trend as thickness swelling.
