AB  - This study investigated the mechanical, physical, and thermal properties of 
      three-layer particleboards produced from annual plant straws and three polymers: 
      polypropylene (PP), high-density polyethylene (HDPE), and polylactic acid (PLA). 
      The rape straw (Brassica napus L. var. Napus) was used as an internal layer, 
      while rye (Secale L.) or triticale (Triticosecale Witt.) was applied as an 
      external layer in the obtained particleboards. The boards were tested for their 
      density, thickness swelling, static bending strength, modulus of elasticity, and 
      thermal degradation characteristics. Moreover, the changes in the structure of 
      composites were determined by infrared spectroscopy. Among the straw-based boards 
      with the addition of tested polymers, satisfactory properties were obtained 
      mainly using HDPE. In turn, the straw-based composites with PP were characterized 
      by moderate properties, while PLA-containing boards did not show clearly 
      favorable properties either in terms of the mechanical or physical features. The 
      properties of straw-polymer boards produced based on triticale straw were 
      slightly better than those of the rye-based boards, probably due to the geometry 
      of the strands, which was more favorable for triticale straw. The obtained 
      results indicated that annual plant fibers, mainly triticale, can be used as wood 
      substitutes for the production of biocomposites. Moreover, the addition of 
      polymers allows for the use of the obtained boards in conditions of increased 
      humidity.
