abstract="Although much efforts have been made to investigate the cement-bonded particleboards, effects of cement-wood ratio on the flammability of the cement-bonded particleboards remain unclear. The cement-bonded particleboards based on recycled Chinese fir particles are fabricated in this work and the flammability properties are evaluated using cone calorimetry tests. <br><br>RESULTS revealed that the time to ignition of the specimens is remarkably prolonged by more than 21 times (from 26 to 548 s) when the cement-wood ratio increases from 0.5 to 2.0. Additionally, the peak heat release rate, average heat release rate, total heat release, and average mass loss rate of the cement-bonded particleboards are noticeably decreased with increasing cement-wood ratios, and the residual mass of the cement-bonded particleboards is increased by 51 %. However, yields of both CO and CO2 are slightly improved with increasing cement-wood ratios because of incomplete combustion. This work provides an insight to understanding the flammability of cement-bonded particleboards.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
