TL;DR: In this article, the main influencing parameters on sheets made of wood flour (WF) imbedded in a polypropylene matrix were identified and analyzed for flat pressing flat panels.

TL;DR: In this paper, the perceptions of Iranian furniture manufacturers were evaluated by means of ANP-based multi-type questionnaires, regarding the conditions and requisite features of lightweight panels in furniture manufacturing.

TL;DR: In this article, the physical effects of air-coupled ultrasonic testing and analyses the influences of panel density and particle type on the transmitted ultrasonic signal were carried out for a broad range of wood-based panels.

TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of inorganic mineral filler addition on the material properties of medium density fiberboard (MDF) was investigated at varying densities, and the results demonstrated that the addition of mineral filler to MDF up to levels of 10 wt.% only had a small effect, if at all, on material properties, such as elastic and strength properties, thickness swelling, permeability, as well as formaldehyde and volatile organic compound emissions.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the interference effects of ultrasonic waves on wood-based panels and verified the results with a mathematical model that explains the interferences due to multiple reflections inside the tested panels.
