The research aims to enhance the fire ignition delay of bamboo using plasma treatment techniques.
Applied atmospheric-pressure argon and hexamethyldisiloxane plasma on bamboo surfaces.
Evaluated the effects on ignition delay and fire retardancy.
Analyzed the surface properties for hydrophobicity and char formation.
Plasma-treated bamboo showed up to 200% increase in fire ignition delay.
Formation of SiOx-like layers and stable char enhanced fire protection.
Treatment achieved fire retardancy without halogenated chemicals or impregnation processes.
