Abstract
Particleboards are among the most popular materials used in interior and exterior applications
in floors, walls, ceiling panels, cabinets and furniture. Particleboards combine low cost raw
materials and simple processing. Decrease in raw materials and the need of conserving natural
resources encourage the search for substitutes to replace natural wood in panel industry. Biobased
resources are renewable, widely distributed, available locally, recyclable, versatile, nonabrasive,
biodegradable, compostable, and reactive. Rice husk is an abundantly available
waste material in all rice producing countries. This residue has been used to produce a variety
of added value products, such as silica, biofuel and filler for composite materials. The
present work is an attempt to report the stateofthe-art and future prospects of particleboards
based on rice husk and also highlighting some results on the processing and characterization.
