Abstract
This paper aims to compare the physical properties of panels made of lignocellulosic raw materials and cement. Density (D), water absorption (WA), and thickness swelling (TS) after 2 and 24 h of immersion in water were analyzed. These lignocellulosic materials were used to produce panels: sugarcane bagasse, eucalyptus, banana pseudostem, coconut shell, and coffee husk. Three panels of each material were produced and each sample was arranged with the following dimensions: 150 × 150 × 15 mm. Each sample was submerged in water for 2 and 24 h, and the WA and TS capacity was measured in both conditions. Coconut and banana pseudostem panels presented both the lowest D values and the highest values of WA after 2 h and 24 h of immersion. The coffee panel showed the maximum D value. About TS the eucalyptus panels presented the highest value. Sugarcane panels showed the lowest TS at 2 h according to the recommended standards related to TS for 2 h. TS resistance tends to decrease with the increase in D, so panels produced with smaller and thicker particles tend to be slenderer and to present higher resistance to perpendicular traction.
