Rice husk particles were used as a major material in making of particleboard. The experimental research used a factorial randomized block design with two factors. The first factor was the relative humidity (RH) that consisted of indoors RH of 83-85% and outdoors RH of 87-91%; the second factor was the exposure time (1-6 week(s)). The physical and mechanical properties changes of rice husk-particleboard during 6 weeks of indoor and outdoor exposures were measured. The internal bond (IB), modulus of rupture (MOR), modulus of elasticity (MOE) of rice husk-particleboard decreased and the thickness of swelling as well as density of rice husk-particleboard increased during exposing to indoors and outdoors open-air.
