Investigate the potential of bamboo leaves for the development of particle boards for interior applications

Abstract

This study focuses on the viability of using dried bamboo leaves in addition to other leaf types like date palm and banana to generate sustainability particleboard for interior usage. It analyzes the characteristics of the boards, comparing them to standard practices for things like density, water absorption, and thickness swelling. The goal of the study is to encourage the development of materials by showcasing the potential of leaf-based particle boards as affordable and environmentally beneficial substitutes. The study is to convince stakeholders of the potential of bamboo leaf particle boards and encourage more research and development in this field by raising awareness of the environment and promoting sustainable construction practices in Sri Lanka.
