Rattan waste is abundant in Indonesia; however, its low mechanical strength and limited durability restrict its direct application in composite materials. This study investigated the effect of furfuryl alcohol (FA) modification and different adhesive systems on the performance of rattan-based particleboard. Rattan particles were immersed in FA for 24 h and used to produce particleboards (300 \u00d7 300 \u00d7 10 mm) bonded with phenol formaldehyde (PF), melamine formaldehyde (MF), and urea formaldehyde (UF) adhesives at a resin content of 12%. The boards were manufactured under controlled hot pressing conditions and conditioned for 14 days prior to testing. Furfurylation significantly improved dimensional stability by reducing moisture content, water absorption, thickness swelling, and leaching, with anti-swelling efficiency values ranging from 43.25% to 71.06%. Some selected mechanical properties, including internal bonding strength, hardness, and screw holding power, were also enhanced. However, the modification showed limited influence on the modulus of elasticity and, in some cases, reduced the modulus of rupture. Among the adhesive systems, MF-bonded boards exhibited the most balanced mechanical performance. Furfurylation also produced darker and more uniform board surfaces. These findings indicate that furfurylated rattan particleboards are suitable for non-structural and decorative applications.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/polym18091031","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,24]],"date-time":"2026-04-24T12:29:11Z","timestamp":1777033751000},"page":"1031","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Physical and Mechanical Properties of Particleboards Made from Furfurylated Rattan Particles"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"18","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8373-6712","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mahdi","family":"Mubarok","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Forest Products, Faculty of Forestry and Environment, IPB University, Bogor 16680, Indonesia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nela Rahmati","family":"Sari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Forest Products, Faculty of Forestry and Environment, IPB University, Bogor 16680, Indonesia"},{"name":"Center for Sustainable Forest Development, Bogor 16118, Indonesia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8360-3442","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lukmanul Hakim","family":"Zaini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Forest Products, Faculty of Forestry and Environment, IPB University, Bogor 16680, Indonesia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0305-8123","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Purwantiningsih","family":"Sugita","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciensces, IPB University, Bogor 16680, Indonesia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7860-3125","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Muhammad Adly Rahandi","family":"Lubis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Center for Biomass and Bioproducts, National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN), South Tangerang 15314, Indonesia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Imam Busyra","family":"Abdillah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Forest Products, Faculty of Forestry and Environment, IPB University, Bogor 16680, Indonesia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Abdus","family":"Syukur","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Forest Products, Faculty of Forestry and Environment, IPB University, Bogor 16680, Indonesia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Eko Setio","family":"Wibowo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Center for Biomass and Bioproducts, National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN), South Tangerang 15314, Indonesia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ignasia Maria","family":"Sulastiningsih","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Center for Biomass and Bioproducts, National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN), South Tangerang 15314, Indonesia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7465-6051","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jingjing","family":"Liao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Vegetable Biology of Yunnan Province, College of Landscape and Horticulture, Yunnan Agricultural University, Kunming 650201, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dede","family":"Hermawan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Forest Products, Faculty of Forestry and Environment, IPB University, Bogor 16680, Indonesia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0911-0105","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Philippe","family":"G\u00e9rardin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"LERMAB, INRAE, Universit\u00e9 de Lorraine, 54000 Nancy, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ioanna A.","family":"Papadopoulou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemistry, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, 54124 Thessaloniki, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6226-5309","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Antonios N.","family":"Papadopoulos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Natural Environment and Climate Resilience, Democritus University of Thrace, 66100 Drama, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Manurung, T., Sukmara, D., and Younastya, A.
