Table 4 Fiber dimensions of chestnut bur and poplar

From: Low-formaldehyde emission composite particleboard manufactured from waste chestnut bur

Materials	Fiber length (mm)	Fiber diameter (um)	L/D
Chestnut bur	1.06 (0.36)	17.51 (3.37)	60.54 (22.53)
Poplar	1.00 (0.17)	21.15 (3.60)	47.28 (9.41)
Softwood [22]	2.25–4.28	25.6–56.0	55.4–129.4
Hardwood[22]	0.47–2.92	14.4–30.0	20.9–91.6

The results are given as averages and standard deviations (in parentheses) from the mean values of 100 randomly chosen fiber samples. L/D, length/diameter ratio of each fiber sample
