Selected physical and mechanical properties of particleboards produced from lignocellulosic particles of black chokeberry (Aronia melanocarpa (Michx.) Elliott)

Abstract

Selected physical and mechanical properties of particleboards produced from lignocellulosic particles of black chokeberry (Aronia melanocarpa (Michx.) Elliott). The aim of the research was to confirm the possibility of using woody particles of black chokeberry (Aronia melanocarpa (Michx.) Elliott) stems as an alternative raw material in particleboard technology. As part of the work, particle boards from woody chokeberry particles were produced in laboratory conditions and selected physical and mechanical properties of the obtained boards were tested. The research confirmed that it is possible to manufacture boards for the furniture industry using lignocellulosic particles of black chokeberry (Aronia melanocarpa (Michx.) Elliott) meeting the requirements for P2 boards according to PN-EN 312.
