Abstract
Newly developed plant-based particle board was investigated in this paper. Rapeseed straw is used as the particle, and epoxy resin as the binder. This paper investigated the effect of different surface treatment of rape straw on selected properties of particle boards. Samples were made via cold pressing with a pressure of 4 MPa. In order to analyze the effect of the surface treatment on the properties of rapeseed particle board in more detail, basic physical, moisture and thermal properties were measured. It was found that the properties of particle boards are slightly dependent on the surface treatment. The impact of the surface treatment on basic physical properties, water vapor diffusion properties and thermal properties is relatively low. The surface treatment of straw has the greatest effect on the sorption isotherms and thickness swelling. From this point of view, the sodium hydroxide treatment is the least suitable.
