Effects of Target Density and Strand Size on Properties of Oriented Strand Board Composed of Thinned Wood of Larix leptolepis Gordon

This study was to manufacture thinned wood of Larix leptolepis Gordon into Oriented Strand Board(OSB) with Urea-Formaldehyde Resin. The OSB was made of four kinds of strand in slenderness ratio 150 ; thickness $0.3{\pm}0.05mm$, $0.4{\pm}0.05mm$, $0.5{\pm}0.05mm$ and $0.6{\pm}0.05mm$, respectively length 45mm, 60mm, 75mm and 90mm. Target densities were 0.65gr/$cm^3$, 0.75gr/$cm^3$ and 0.85gr/$cm^3$. The stepwise 9 minutes-multi-pressing schedule in the maximum pressure 40kgf/$cm^2$, the minimum pressure 10kgf/$cm^2$ was applied for $400mm{\times}390mm{\times}12mm$ board at the temperature of $150^{\circ}C$ in a hot press. In MOR The OSB of thin strand thickness $0.3{\pm}0.05mm$(length 45mm) and density 0.85gr/$cm^3$ was the highest. The strand thickness had more effect on MOR than the strand length. In strand thickness $0.4{\pm}0.05mm$(length 60mm) and density 0.85gr/$cm^3$ was the highest MOE. The strand thickness and length had adverse effects on MOE each other. At internal bonding. The OSB of strand thickness $0.3{\pm}0.05mm$(length 45mm) and board density 0.75gr/$cm^3$ showed the highest value. OSB had higher IB value with thinner strand thickness. The thinner strand thickness showed the lower thickness swelling in turn $0.3{\pm}0.05mm$(length 45mm), $0.4{\pm}0.05mm$(length 60mm), $0.5{\pm}0.05mm$(length 75mm). $0.6{\pm}0.05mm$(length 90mm). Target densities 0.75gr/$cm^3$ 0.65gr/$cm^3$, 0.85gr/$cm^3$ showed in turn lower value. Finally, The OSB made of thinned wood of Larix leptolepis Gordon showed good results in laboratory experiment.
