Abstract:This paper considers the softening and flattening treatment of Schizostachyum Lumampao Bamboo as part of a process in its preparation for utilization. Bamboo half-culm samples with thicknesses of either 5.00 mm or 6.00 mm was soaked in palm oil at either of two temperatures (100°C or 160°C) with an application of 50 N load to simulate the flattening process for a period of either 2700 sec. (45 mins.) or 3600 sec. (60 mins.). By measuring the height of the bamboo half-culm before and after the thermal treatment… Show more
