The effect of using rice husk in production of particleboard on surface roughness

Due to lack of raw materials and, environmental concerns in the world, the search for different sources of lignocellulosic raw materials is increasing. In this context, the forest products industry factory wastes, wood flour / wood sawdust, foliage, annual plant waste etc. there are various researches on the use of lignocellulosic materials. In Turkey, wheat, cotton, sunflower, rice etc. the products are among the most-produced agricultural products. Although most of the wastes generated during the production of these products are prohibited, they are destroyed by the producers in the fields by burning. In the scope of this study, 4 types of particleboard were produced with the help of urea formaldehyde resin by using rice husks at 0, 10, 20 and 30% ratios. The surface roughness parameters of the obtained particleboards were determined. According to the results of the research, it was determined that the use of rice husks in the production of particleboard reduced the surface roughness. In addition, it was determined that all surface roughness parameters were decreased due to the increase of the use of rice husks in the particleboard
