Treatments were arranged in factorial scheme 4 x 2 (four wood types for veneer inclusion – Pinus oocarpa, Eucalyptus urophylla, Parkia gigantocarpa and Brosimum parinariodes; and two pressing pressures – 1 and 2<br />MPa) and also a control (without veneer inclusion). Veneer inclusion was made with 180 g.cm-2 phenol formaldehyde adhesive, in a simple glue line, perpendicular to the external layer of panels. The pressing<br />cycle used was 150ºC for 4 minutes under pressure 1 or 2 MPa pressure depending on the pre-established treatment. It was possible to conclude that: 1) Veneer inclusion with pines, eucalypt and amapá promoted<br />significant improvements for physical-mechanical properties of OSB panels, highlighting eucalypt and amapá; 2) There was not a significant effect of the level of pressing pressure over mechanical properties<br />of OSB with veneer inclusion; and 3) Regarding physical properties, the highest pressure level (2 MPa) promoted a negative effect in some properties, while veneer inclusion the pressure of 1 MPa generally<br />promoted significant improvement of all physical properties.}, number={4}, journal={Maderas-Cienc Tecnol}, author={Farinassi Mendes, Rafael and da Silva César, Antônia Amanda and Gomes da Silva, Marcela and Marin Mendes, Lourival and Guimarães Carvalho, Amélia}, year={2015}, month={Dec.}, pages={843–856} }
