“…Bamboo fiber is a kind of natural fiber, and bamboo is rich in resources, with green, low-carbon, recyclable characteristics, thus using bamboo fiber to manufacture bamboo fiber-based composite materials to replace plastic is conducive to the promotion of a green economy and ecological civilization [45,46]. With global warming and increasing environmental threats, forest resources are becoming more and more precious.…”

Natural fiber composites are receiving more and more attention because of their greenness and low cost. Among natural fibers, bamboo is characterized by fast growth, a short cultivation period, high strength and good toughness, and is one of the strongest natural fibers in the world. A bamboo-fiber-reinforced polymer composite (BFRPC) has the characteristics of high mechanical strength, low density, degradability, etc. It has the industrial applicability comparable to metal materials, the same strong corrosion resistance as composites such as glass and carbon fibers, and the same immunity to electromagnetic interference and low thermal conductivity as natural materials. Its unidirectional specific strength and unidirectional specific modulus is higher than that of glass fiber, second only to the extremely high price of carbon fiber, which is playing an increasingly important role in the field of composite materials, and can be widely used in the fields of wind power, construction, aviation, automotive, medical care and so on. At present, it has been initially used in packaging, automotive and transportation fields, and is expected to replace petroleum-based plastics in various fields. In addition to their environmental protection and green production, they have excellent physical properties. This paper provides an overview of the mechanical properties of bamboo-fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composites and thermoset composites that have been developed so far, such as tensile strength, flexural properties and impact strength. In addition, the prospects of bamboo-fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composites for automotive, packaging and agricultural applications are presented.

“…As the wet bamboo fiber is deformed, there is a large residual stress retained after the preforming force is removed. This residual stress will cause large spring back after the preforming bamboo fiber is removed from the tool (Chiu and Young 2020a). Under the condition of 60% moisture content at 25 ℃, Eq.…”

The tensile relaxation behavior of bamboo fiber was evaluated. Bamboo fibers were extracted via a mechanical method and treated in alkaline solutions of sodium hydroxide. The relaxation tests of bamboo fibers were conducted by applying a constant strain at one end of a single bamboo fiber while the other end was fixed. The reaction force in the bamboo fiber was measured at the same time. The relaxation tests of the bamboo fibers were conducted under different temperature and moisture contents. The results showed that in the wet and/or high temperature conditions, the relaxation rate was faster than that in the dry and/or room temperature conditions. For a low strain, the bamboo fiber can be totally relaxed within 10 min under a high temperature. A nonlinear viscoelastic constitutive model was proposed to fit the relaxation curves, which could model the stress relaxation behavior of a bamboo fiber under different temperature or moisture content conditions. Compared with the experimental data, the model gave reasonable values for the relaxation behavior of the bamboo fiber.

“…Over the past decade, natural fibers have been able to replace synthetic fibers in composite materials due to many superior properties, such as low cost, high stiffness-to-weight ratio, high availability, low density, biodegradability, and biocompatibility. [1][2][3][4][5][6] Moreover, natural fibers are free from any hazardous effects on human health. 7 Natural fiber is used in the manufacturing of composites with both thermosetting polymer and thermoplastic as matrix material.…”

This work presents the thermal and mechanical characterization of epoxy composites reinforced with different fillers developed by modifying thermo‐mechanically extracted bamboo micron fibers. The modification of bamboo fibers was done by adding carbon nanoparticles to their surface and also by making powdered fillers using the process of ball milling. A decrease in water absorption in case of surface coated bamboo fibers was observed. The glass transition behavior was enhanced for composites filled with milled bamboo fillers as compared to neat epoxy. Better mechanical properties were observed for composites reinforced with milled bamboo fillers compared to that of composites filled with bamboo fibers. The highest tensile strength (90.258 MPa) was observed for composites reinforced with 5 wt% of milled bamboo fillers depicting an increase of 93.01% compared to that of neat epoxy (46.762 MPa).Highlights Bamboo fibers were modified with a sizing agent and carbon nanoparticles. A novel “milled bamboo filler” was produced and incorporated in composites. Thermal properties of epoxy composite were enhanced by the novel filler. Tensile strength of the composite was significantly enhanced. The novel filler has the future scope of application in various composite products.
