Popis: The objective of the research was to evaluate the effect of particle immersing treatments in acetic acid (AA) solution on dimensional stability and strength properties of particleboard. Particle was immersed in various level AA solution namely 0 (untreated), 1, 2, 3, 4% for 24 hours. Afterward, the particle was oven dried up to 5% moisture content. The amount of 12% UF resin level used for binding in manufacturing particleboard. Board size, thickness and density target in this experiment was 25 by 25 cm2, 1 cm, and 0.75 g/cm3 respectively. After mat forming, board pressed using 130°C temperature, 30 kg/cm2, and pressure for 10 minutes. The results showed that particles immersing in AA solution provide enhancement of thickness swelling (TS) parameters. Overall, 1% AA solution is the best treatment to improve dimensional stability. The similar results also showed by internal bond value. In general, the excess of 1% acetic acid level resulted in decreasing of IB value. A similar trend also occurs in modulus of rupture (MoR) and modulus of elasticity (MoE) parameters.
