Fig. 5From: Mechanical, physical and thermal properties of composite materials produced with the basidiomycete Fomes fomentariusMechanical properties of heat-pressed particleboards made of F. fomentarius and hemp shives. A Flexural strength as a function of density; B Transverse tensile strength as a function of density; C Example for a cover layer from a 5 mm specimen that has been torn off the board; D Young`s modulus as a function of density. Data for 5, 10, 15 mm boards are given in blue, orange, and grey, respectivelyBack to article page
