Abstract

In this study, the effect of particle size used in surface layers and shelling ratio on the mechanical properties of there-layered particleboard manufactured from treated canola (Brassica napus) particle was investigated. The shelling ratio at three levels (2.82:16mm, 5.33:16mm and 8.6:16mm), particle size used on surface layers at two levels (>1.25 and 1.25 mm in surface layers of panels caused an increase in MOR, MOE, IB. Besides, it was determined that increment in particle size on surface layers and using water – leached treatment improved the mechanical properties of panels. According to the results, with the usage of canola stalks particles treated with hot-water used in core layer, applying particles with the dimension of >1.25mm on surface layers of three-layered panels with shelling ratio of 2.82:16mm and 5.33:16mm, it can be obtained the desirable MOR and MOE.
