Abstract
This research was planned to study the influence of reinforcement with metal and woven synthetic nets on the mechanical properties of medium density fiberboard (MDF). Sample boards were manufactured according to common practice. However, reinforcements were placed in the boards at one fourth of their thicknesses. Urea formaldehyde resin was used in the boards. However, some metal nets were embedded in an epoxy resin prior to board manufacture. Bending and tensile strengths were determined according to ASTM D 1037-99, impact load resistance according to ASTM D 256-04 and board’s creep according to ASTM D 6815-02.
