This study investigated some of the important properties of particleboard and medium density fiberboard (MDF) manufactured from non-wood underutilized species, bamboo and rice straw in Thailand. Various type of experimental panels were manufactured using different ratios of both types of raw material. Rice straw did adversely influenced panels properties. However addition of low amount of rice straw in all panels did not substantially reduced both mechanical and physical properties of the samples. Panel made from 100% bamboo resulted in the highest values.
Currently sandwich type panels, having thin layers of fiber on the faces and particles in the core of the samples are being manufactured.
