	Particle board - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Particleboard is the least dense of these and therefore, the least strong.
		It is clear that particleboard is kind on wood resources and extremely beneficial for the environment.
		Generally, it is stronger than particleboard, allowing it to support greater weights in shelves or other furniture; unless braced or built with thick material, particle board shelves may visibly sag over time.

	High strength particleboard having reinforcing strips - Patent 5106666 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Composite particleboards and methods for manufacturing these particleboards are provided in which a plurality of discrete lignocellulosic particles are bonded together to form a core and then hot pressed with a plurality of reinforced strips having a thickness of less than about 6.4 mm for improving the bending strength of the particleboard structure.
		Particleboard is a generic term for a panel-like material manufactured from lignocellulosic materials, preferably wood, primarily in the form of discrete pieces or particles, as distinguished from fibers.
		The strips are adhered to at least a planar surface of the particleboard exposed to a tensile load, for improving at least the bending strength of the particleboard.
