【 摘 要 】

Problem statement: To value agricultural residues, a study was carried out to investigatemechanical and physical properties of particleboards produced from stems of cotton (Gossypium hirsutumL.) by using bone adhesive. Approach: In order to obtain particleboards with minimum physical andmechanical properties as required in the conventional standards for general purpose particleboards, theoptimum pressure temperature and the optimum pressure time and density used in this study, wererespectively 140°C, 10-15 min and about 0.6-0,671 g cm^?3. The optimum value of bone adhesive usedin particleboards was 10%. The Modulus Of Elasticity (MOE), Modulus Of Rupture (MOR), Tractionstrain (R_r) and water absorption were determined at the pressure temperature of 140°C. Results: Theresults revealed that the density of particleboards obtained from cotton plant at 140°C have neithernotable influence on their mechanical properties, nor evolve in the same way as the constantmechanics of the particleboards. Conclusion: The bone adhesive could be used in particleboardsproduction from the chips of cotton instead of the conventional binders which create theenvironmental problems.
