Rhododendron dominates the understory layer of the forests throughout the Black Sea Region in Turkey with substantial biomass potential. is study was conducted to evaluate suitability of Rhododendron ber for MDF production. For the experiments, rhododendron and commercially-manufactured-chip (Pinus sylvestris L. and Quercus robur L.) with 11% moisture content were used. e mixing ratios of rhododendron with commercially-manufactured-chip were 100:0, 75:25, 50:50, 25:75 and 0:100 %, respectively. Commercial urea formaldehyde (UF) adhesive was used as a binder. A stylus method was employed to evaluate the surface characteristics of the samples. Roughness measurements by the stylus method were taken perpendicularly to the ber. ere was a signi cant di erence (p=0.05) between surface roughness parameters (Ra, Rz, Rq, and Ry). e results obtained in this study revealed that all the panels have met the general purpose-use requirements of European Norm (EN). It was found that panels made with a 25/75 ratio of rhododendron to commercially-manufactured-chip had a signi cantly lower contact angle (88.14o) than panels made with a 100/0 ratio (117.91o). Surface roughness measurements are based on four roughness parameters, average roughness (Ra), mean peak-to-valley height (Rz), root mean square roughness (Rq), and maximum peak-to-valley height (Ry) were considered to evaluate the surface characteristics of the panels and supported the above ndings as the panels made with a 25/75 ratio had a slightly rougher surface with average values of 2.929 m (Ra). From the tests performed, we conclude that increasing the rhododendron mixing portion increased surface roughness and decreased wettability. Based on these results, rhododendron biomass could be an alternative raw material for MDF manufacturing. 2012 artículo científico 0717-3644 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=48523072006 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=485 Maderas.
