dimensional stability and MOE than PF and pMDI-bonded sweet sorghum bagasse but lower MOR and IB [79,114]. As shown in Table 6, at the same density level and resin content, citric acid-bonded sugarcane bagasse particleboard had

inferior MOR and MOE values than citric acid-bonded sweet sorghum bagasse particleboard. However, the IB strength and dimensional stability of the sugarcane bagasse particleboard were better [79,115].

Hull-, husk- and shell-based particleboard

Hull refers to the outer covering of a fruit or seed, while husk refers to the dry, leafy or stringy exterior of certain vegetables or fruits, which must be removed before eating the meat in- side. Sunflower seed husk and the hull are suitable materials for particleboard manufacturing as they have similar chemi- cal compositions to wood [65]. The husks of sunflower seeds make up to 21 e 30% of their total weight; therefore, a huge amount of residues are often generated during sunflower oil extraction [116]. Gertjejansen et al. [117] investigated the performance of particleboard made from 100% sunflower hulls. They reported that the resultant particleboard had surpassed the minimum requirements for MOR and MOE as stated in Commercial Standard (CS) 236-66 [118]. Neverthe- less, the IB strength was inferior and adding 50% aspen flakes was required to improve the IB strength. Cosereanu et al. [65] investigated the effects of particle size and geometry on the performance of particleboard made from sunflower seed husks. Two particle sizes were used, namely coarse (2 e 3mm) and fine particles (0.5 e 1 mm). Single-layer particleboard made from fine particles has a higher density and performs better in terms of WA, TS, MOR, and IB than its coarse particle
