Abstract
Laminated composites were made by laminating the binderless banana stem particle boards with banana leaf tapes using adhesive in the form of a double-sided tape. The effect of the lamination on the tensile and flexural properties of the particle board panel was investigated. Results obtained showed that increasing the number of layers of banana leaf tapes altered the mechanical properties of the particle board. Particle board with four layers gave the highest flexural strength. Flexural modulus also increased with the increase in the number of layer of banana leaf tapes. There is also an improvement in tensile strength with the number of layers of banana leaf tapes. Particle board panel laminated with four layers of banana leaf tapes showed the highest tensile strength. The tensile modulus, on the other hand, decreased with increasing layer of banana leaf tapes. The fibre orientation in the banana leaf tapes also influenced the mechanical properties of the particle board. Particle board with the banana leaf fibre orientation parallel to the test direction showed higher tensile strength. The effect of banana leaf tape fibre orientation on the flexural strength was not significant.
