Abstract
In order to manufacture particleboard from various populus clones species grown in four years short - rotation, eighteen clones from different species of populus grown in "Alborz Research Center" with a control sample of Beech from Caspian Forests totally 19 combination spicement were collected and 3 boards from each treatment totally 57 experimental sample boards were produced.
The effects of different species and clones of populus on physical and mechanical properties of boards were studied. The results showed that clones P.d 77.51 and P.e.561.41 grown four years had the maximum modulus of repture (MaR). The P.e. 561.41, P.e. vernirubensis showed a high modulus of elasticity (MOE), and internal bonding (IB) was the maximum in P.d. 44.9, P.n. 63.135. The minimum amount of thickness swelling after 2 hours - immersion were belong to P.d. 77.51, P.n. 42.78 and the thickness swelling after 24 hours immersion were belong to P.n. 63.135 , P.e. 42.78. respectively.
It has been shown that most of the different populous clones grown four years - rotation, have the higher applicable properties than control sample for particleboard.
The results of this study showed that it is possible to use 4-years-old wood of P.e. 561.41, P.d. 77.51, P.e vernirubensis, P.n. 63.135, P.e. 44.9 woods for particleboard manufacture.
