different hydrogen peroxide loadings and calcium chloride
additions had only minor effects on the MOR and MOE. Pressing
was initially problematic and some of the fibreboards in
the RA trials delaminated. In trial RA the hydrogen peroxide
loadingwas set to 2.5%. The average density of the fibreboards
was lowand the numerical values ofMORandMOEwere below
20 and 3000MPa, respectively. The bending properties of conventional
wood-based panels are strongly dependent on the
average density (Wong et al., 2000; Shi et al., 2005).
