The effect of temperature in the range from 25 ºC to 175 ºC on the bending performance of
plywood and medium density fiberboard (MDF) has been studied with the ultimate purpose
of optimizing the post-processing using radio frequency heating and improving the quality of
the final products. Static 3-point bending tests were conducted on a universal testing
machine inside a computer-controlled chamber. Results show that the bending strength
(MOR) and modulus of elasticity (MOE) of plywood and MDF decrease with the increase of …
