In this experiment the optimum condition of particleboard uom Date palm residues and prosopis (Mesquite) produced in southern part of Iran was investigated. Variable factors as type of raw-material (Date palm and prosopis), resin content (9, 10 and 11 percent) and press time (5, 6 and 7 minutes) and total of 18 combinations of variables were investigated.Other factors such as type of resin (UF), hardner content (2 percent) type of hardner (NH4CI)press closing time (4.5 mm/sec.), board density (0.7gr/cm3) press pressure (30 kg/cm2) and press temperature (160 C) were held constant.All boards were tested according to DIN-68763 standard. The factorial experimental design at completely random blocks test was used. The results of this study could be summarized as follows: Increasing the resin content from 9 to 11 percent increased MOR, MOE and ID and decreased thickness swelling after two and 24 hours immersion in water.The highest internal bond (IB) was related to prosopis (Mesquite) boards made at 5 minute, prass time. As far as production of date plam and prosopis (Mesquite) wood is concerned, the results revealed that the polymerization of resin and wood is better at 11 percent resin content and 5 minutes of press time. Date palm residues are important with treatment process according to reference. NO. One. Shape and dimension of chipped and flaked particles of date palm residues are important, because type and characteristics of species are different, in the mean time, as date palm residues has very high bulk density and specific surfaces than prosopis (Mesquite) which it has inverse effect on both physical and mechanical properties, thus it should be considered during the process of particleboards production.

In this research solid wood properties of sound absorption coefficient in over frequency were investigated. Sound absorption at 2000, 4000 and 8000 in Hertz Frequencies was measured on the influence of effective factors in solid wood. Solid wood variable factors were species (Beech, Poplar and Alder), fiber direction (Longitudinal, Radial and Tangential) and Frequencies (2000, 4000 and 8000 in hertz). Data was analyzed using factorial experimental design at completely random blocks and DMRT test. The measurements were taken using the sound absorption with standing waves apparatus type 4002. The results of this research indicate that sound absorption at frequencies 2000, 4000 and 8000 in hertz were in maximum level for poplar wood. Longitudinal direction in solid wood had sound absorption maximum levels. Radial and Tangential direction have less sound absorption than Longitudinal direction respectively. Therefore this investigation showed that sound absorption with increasing frequency of 2000 to 8000 hertz, maximum level was considered.

In this study, the effect of board type, press time and resin content on the strength of particleboard have been evaluated. The boards made for this study contained bagasse and logging residues of Eucalyptus wood particles at a 50 to 50 ratio and employed Urea formaldehyde (UF) resin as the binder. Variable factors are as follows:- type of board; single layer, three layer- press time; 5 , 6 , 7 , minutes- resin content; 9 , 10 , 11 percentThree boards' were manufactured for each combination of variables. Samples of all the boards made were tested by the methods described in DIN 68763 standard to obtain mean values of bending strength, and internal bond strength (LB). In addition samples of each type of board were tested for thickness swelling after immersion in water for 2 hours and 24 hours respectively.The results of this study show clearly that three layer particleboard has significantly higher bending strength than single layer, but single layer boards have better properties from the physical aspect.
Increasing the content of U.F resin from 9 per cent to 10 per cent was found to reduce the thickness swelling, and tended to improve the strength properties of the board, in both single layer and three layer boards. Press time has significant effect on bending strength and I.B Highest MOR and MOE were observed on three layer board pressed for 7 minutes.

Laminated beam ( LB.) and laminated veneer lumber ( LVL) manufactured from maple, hornbeam and beech wood is investigated. Three levels of press pressures at 30, 35, 40 kg/cm2, three levels of layer thicknesses of 2, 3, 4 mm and tangential and radial layers are investigated. Bending strength (MOR and MOE) and shear strength were measured according to ASTM 1186 and 905 respectively.The results of this investigation indicated that laminated wood strength of samples produced from hornbeam layers is superior to beech and beech is superior to maple. Statistical analysis of the results showed that the effect of wood species on strength properties is significantly different at 99% level. Press pressure also showed significant effect on strength. Increasing press pressure improved bending properties, but the highest shear strength was observed at 30 kg/cm2. Cutting direction did not influence bending strength and only influenced the shear strength. Even though the initial anticipation was the fact that thinner layer will produce stronger laminated wood. But the results or this study showed that layer thickness did not significantly affect strength properties.

In this investigation, the effect of mat moisture content, press temperature and time on polymerization reaction of urea-formaldehyde (UF) resin and the strength of UF bonded hornbeam particleboard is studied. Variation of three variables is as followed:
-mat moisture content; 10, 13 and 16% (Based on oven dry weight of wood)
-Press temperature; 150, 170 and 190 ᵒC
-Press time; 4, 6, and 8 min.
Fore boards were manufactured for each combination of variables. Modulus of rupture (MOR), modulus of elasticity (MOE), Internal bond (IB), water absorption (Wa2 and Wa24) and thickness swelling (Ts2 and Ts24) after 2 and 24 hours immersion in water were determined according to ASTM 1037 standard. All data was analyzed using factorial design. The effect of mat moisture content on MOR was not statically different, but its effect on MOE was statistically different at 5% significance level, and increasing the mat moisture content from 10 to 16% bout MOR & MOE. Highest level of MOE (4262 MPa) corresponds to board pressed at 16% mat moisture content. On the contrary, mat moisture content decreased the IB and lowest value of IB ( 1.447 MPa) corresponds to boards pressed at 16% mat moisture content. The effect of mat moisture content on IB was statistically different at 1% significance level. Increasing mat moisture content decreased water absorption and increased thickness swelling. Lowest Wa2 & Wa24 was observed on boards pressed at 16% mat moisture content (67.35% & 86.78% respectively) and lowest Ts2 & Ts24 was observed on boards pressed at 10% mat moisture content (21.89% & 27.32% respectively). There force for the production of suitable boards, ma moisture content must be kept at 10-13% range.

The influence of production variable such as residues moisture content at time of chipping or flaking, hardner and press time on properties of particleboard from date palm residues is investigated. Each variable was investigated at three different levels and a total of 24 combinations of variables were studied. The results of this investigation indicate that:
- Residues moisture content at the time of chipping or flaking affects both physical and mechanical properties of boards. MOR and MOE of board made from flakes produced by dry chipping and either wet or dry flaking was higher than others and its dimensional stability was better.
Chipping or flaking moisture did not affect IB significantly.
- Hardner consumption did not significantly influence the properties, but increasing hardner consumption to 3 percent of resin content (solid basis) improved board properties.
- Press time also did not influence board properties and for the production of 15 mm. boards, either 5 or 6 minutes press time can be used.
-For the production of boards to satisfy DIN requirement, following variable combination can be utilized: dry chipping - wet flaking, 3 percent hardner and 6 minutes press time.
