Abstract :Bamboo is a non-wood material, known as a fast-growing plant with great potential in sustainable composite production. This brief review synthesizes recent studies (2019-2025) on bamboo-particle composites and more on conventional bamboo particle-based composites, specifically focusing on composite types like sandwich particleboard and single-layer particleboard. The primary objective is to explore their materials, resulting properties, manufacturing processes, and development trends. This review examines materials typically bonded with synthetic adhesives (e.g., amino-plast, phenolic resins and non-formaldehyde resins), which are suitable for cost-effective applications. The study covers the influence of various bamboo species, processing parameters (e.g., particle size and density), and adhesive types to establish the crucial parameter-to-property relationships that govern performance. It focuses on bamboo particle materials that complement engineered bamboo production while positioning bamboo as a low-cost, high-performance substitute for conventional wood panels. This brief review is a valuable resource for researchers and industry stakeholders, including particleboard and furniture manufacturers, seeking to utilize bamboo as an eco-friendly alternative.
