Bond Quality, Mechanical and Physical Properties of Wood - Polyethylene Reinforced Plywood

Abstract

An experimental study has been carried out to investigate the quality of adhesion, mechanical and physical properties of plywood produced from bonding Eucalyptus wood veneers with polyethylene (LDPE) sheet as a reinforeced material. All plywood samples were assessed by physical and mechanical strength tests and the results were recorded. The results are matched with the requirements of plywood for general purpose as per Indian standard IS 303: 1989. The results showed that the reinforcement of wood veneers with polyethylene sheets proved to be intact and showed good strength properties. Overall it proved that bonding of wood veneers with polyethylene (LDPE) sheets can be achieved to produce plywood which may be used for general purpose.
