Abstract
This study evaluates bio-based Nelumbo nucifera starch-citric acid adhesives as sustainable alternatives to urea-formaldehyde for bamboo particleboard fabrication. Particleboards were produced using Semantan bamboo (Gigantochloa scortechinii) particles with three adhesive formulations: BPS100 (100 % starch), BPS75 (75 % starch, 25 % citric acid), and BPS50 (50 % starch, 50 % citric acid), targeting a density of 0.80 g/cm³ according to ASTM D1037 standards. Physical properties, including thickness swelling and water absorption, were assessed alongside mechanical properties such as modulus of rupture (MOR) and internal bond (IB) strength. The BPS50 formulation exhibited the lowest thickness swelling (76.85 %) and water absorption (134.5 %), as well as the highest MOR (5.448 MPa) and IB strength (0.372 MPa), outperforming both BPS75 and BPS100. However, the MOR value remains below the minimum required standard for general purposed particleboard, indicating the need for further development. FTIR analysis confirmed the formation of ester linkages between starch and citric acid, with enhanced carbonyl signals correlating with improved properties. While these findings highlight the potential of starch-citric acid adhesives as renewable, formaldehyde-free bio-adhesives for lignocellulosic particleboard composites, further optimization is necessary to meet industrial performance standards.
