description The objective of this study was to evaluate basic properties of particleboard panels manufactured from Eastern redcedar (Juniperus virginiana L.) using modified starch and low percent of urea formaldehyde as binder. Experimental panels in the form of three-layer configuration were made from the raw material at two density levels. Bending characteristics, namely, modulus of elasticity (MOE), modulus of rupture (MOR), and internal bond strength (IB) in addition to dimensional stability and surface roughness of the samples were determined. The highest MOE and MOR values of the samples with 0.80 g/cm3 density level were found as 2344.32 and 12.14 MPa, respectively. Both bending and IB values of the samples were comparable to those of commercially manufactured panels from other species. It appears that dimensional stability of the panels needs to be enhanced. Based on the findings in this work, modified starch could have potential as green binder in particleboard panels manufactured from Eastern redcedar without having substantial adverse influence on their properties.
