Abstract

Cement bonded particleboards were manufactured from maple (Acer platanoides L.) wood particles. The results revealed that the mixture of maple-cement can be classified as moderate inhibition, as determined by the hydration tests. Two wood:cement ratios were applied in this study, namely 1:3 and 1:4, for the board manufacture. An increase in the cement-wood ratio resulted in an increase in all, but MOR values. Boards were exposed to brown and white rot fungi, Coniophora puteana, Trametes versicolor, respectively. Overall, both fungi failed to attack the cement-bonded boards.
