Overview

Chemical treatments improve mechanical properties of bamboo fibres, highlighting potential in bio-composites.

Key Points

  • At optimal treatment conditions, treated bamboo fibres exhibited a 52.17% increase in tensile strength compared to untreated fibres.
  • X-ray diffraction analysis revealed significant improvements in the crystalline characteristics of bamboo fibres.
  • Fourier transform infrared examination confirmed the removal of wax, hemicellulose, and lignin from the fibre structure.
  • The treated bamboo fibres showed compatibility for processing with low-temperature polymers, indicating diverse industrial applications.
