“…However, the cylindrical shaped culm limits some direct uses of the bamboo and motivated investigations on bamboo fiber as reinforcement of polymer composites [33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44] . Actually, a bamboo fiber corresponds to many microfibrils (sclerenchyma cells) and vessels, known as vascular bundle, which may be extracted from the parenchyma cell matrix by longitudinal slicing procedure 45 . A stronger specie of giant bamboo (Dendrocalamus giganteous Munro) has recently attracted attention for its relevant properties [46][47][48] , including the impact resistance 49 .…”

“…Considering the serious environmental problems, the popularity of its utilization in daily necessities is increasing. Due to its outstanding breathability (Wang et al 2003) and hygroscopicity (Li et al 1994;Ray et al 2005), bamboo fiber can be a kind of ideal material of some tissue paper products such as sanitary pads and napkins.…”

To obtain a functional composite paper with antibacterial activity, 2-hydroxypropyl trimethylammonium chloride chitosan (HACC) was prepared and sprayed onto the surface of paper made of bamboo fiber. HACC was synthesized from chitosan with 2,3-epoxypropyl trimethylammonium chloride (GTAMC), and the optimal preparation conditions were selected by single-factor tests. The highest degree of substitution (DS) of HACC reached 0.868, when the ratio of chitosan to GTAMC was 1:4, and the water solubility was noticeably improved. The structural characterization demonstrated the successful modification on the original chitosan with a decrease in heat stability and the peak correlated with hydroxypropyl trimethylammonium chloride groups in FTIR. The addition of HACC in the bamboo fiber paper greatly increased the antibacterial activity, and water absorption was higher as well. These results may serve as a basis for the modification and the preparation of chitosan antibacterial agents.

“…Bamboo, as a typical graded fiber-reinforced biocomposite (Ray et al 2005;Wang et al 2012), exhibits remarkable properties and toughness due to its graded and hierarchical structures (Ghavami and Solorzano 1995;Shigeyasu et al 1996;Ghavami et al 2003;Ray et al 2005). Moreover, its structure is graded in both longitudinal and radial directions.…”

Bamboo is a natural bio-composite that has outstanding mechanical properties. Fibers are the structural building block of bamboo. Understanding the effect of fiber area on tensile properties of moso bamboo (Phyllostachys pubescens Mazei ex. H. Lebaie) will shed light on natural efficient design of bamboo. In this paper, fiber area and tensile properties of bamboo were tested on four bamboo slices, and a relationship found between fiber area and tensile properties. The results indicated that fiber volume increased exponentially in the radial direction from the inside to the outside of the culm wall. Bamboo tensile strength and MOE were linearly proportional to the fiber area. Fiber area also influenced bamboo fracture modes.
