| Summary: | Melastoma malabathricum is a lesser known species that has the potential to
make raw materials for producing particleboard. This species is easy to find in
logged-over-forest forest and is easy to replant. The main objective of this study
is to identify the mechanical and physical characteristics of the particleboard
produced by Melastoma malabathricum species and to determine the effect of
glue content on the size of the particles used. Modulus of Rupture (MOR).
Modulus of Elasticity (MOE). Internal Bond (IB), Thickness Swelling (TS) and
Water Absorption (WA) have shown that Melastoma malabathricum species have
the potential to be used as raw materials in the wood industry |
