| description | Looking for new alternative raw materials is one of the key issues in line with a bioeconomy approach, particularly for particleboard manufacturing. In this framework, this paper presents a comparison of some physico-mechanical properties and the formaldehyde contents of particleboards made with 30% substitution of grass biomass from six perennial grass species. Our studies indicate relatively high values of mechanical properties for particleboards made with the addition of biomass from grasses with the C<sub>4</sub> photosynthetic pathway: <i>Miscanthus x giganteus</i> and switchgrass (<i>Panicum virgatum</i>). Boards made with the addition of biomass from grasses with the C<sub>3</sub> photosynthetic pathway—tall wheatgrass (<i>Elymus elongatus</i>), tall fescue (<i>Festuca arundinacea</i>), and perennial ryegrass (<i>Lolium perenne</i>)—gave lower values of mechanical properties. The opposite results were obtained in the case of the formaldehyde content: the lowest value was measured for particleboards made with the addition of tall fescue biomass (0.1% less than the control), and the highest for switchgrass (0.9% greater than the control) and cordgrass (3.2% greater than the control). Future research should address the optimization of the manufacturing process of particleboards from perennial grasses, taking into account the needs and technical possibilities of the wood industry sector. |
