Abstract
Some basic physical and mechanical properties of oriented structural board (OSB) made from fast growing hybrid poplar, such as modulus of rupture, modulus of elasticity, internal bond strength, nail and screw holding power, thickness swelling after water and humidity absorbing, thermal conductivity and sound absorbing coefficient, have been tested and compared with values from random strand board. Effects of board density on these properties were analyzed revealing some general relationships for OSB. The feasibility of hybrid poplar as raw material for OSB production is also discussed.
