    Abstract

    Particleboards based on a mixture of grey alder (Alnus incana (L.) Moench) wood particles (sieve fraction 0.4-2 mm) and 15 or 25% of lignin powder obtained by hot pressing from four different industrial sources were investigated. Their density, thickness swelling, water absorption, modulus of rupture, modulus of elasticity in bending, and internal bond strength were determined. It was founded that the source and amount of the added lignin noticeably affected all tested properties of the particleboards.
