Abstract

In this research with the aim of using a natural component, renewable and environmentally friendly which is not environmental pollution, the physical and mechanical properties of plywood manufactured by populous with urea formaldehyde resin and silk cocoon were studied. For this purpose, silk cocoon was used as filler and reinforcement for four levels of 0, 10, 20 and 30 percent according to dry weight of urea formaldehyde resin. The physical and mechanical properties of samples including water absorption and thickness swelling after 2 and 24 hours immersion in water, bending strength parallel and perpendicular to the surface layer grain and shear strength were measured. The results show that increasing the amount of silk cocoon, decreased water absorption and thickness swelling after 2 and 24 hours immersion in water and increased bending strength parallel and perpendicular to the surface layer grain and shear strength. So that, using 30 percent of silk cocoon, dimensional stability, bending strength and shear strength, were improved.
