2.4. Determination of mechanical properties of particleboard
The modulus of rupture (MOR) and elasticity (MOE) of the samples
were performed according to EN 310 standard [13]. A total of
twenty samples with dimensions of 410 mm 50 mm 18 mm
were tested for each type of particleboard. The internal bond
strength (IB) tests were conducted on the samples cut from the
particleboards according to EN 319 standard [14]. 20 Replicate
samples with dimensions of 50 mm 50 mm 18 mm from each
type of particleboard were used to determine the internal bond
strength
