Progress of Bamboo Recombination Technology in China

Abstract

At present, China is the world's largest producer of bamboo resource possessor and bamboo processing. The main processing method of bamboo recombination technology is rolling and compaction, by which a reconstituted material with bamboo fibrotic veneer as matrix and phenolic resin as reinforcement is prepared. It has excellent physical and mechanical properties and can replace high-quality wood to manufacture various engineering structural materials and building decoration materials. This paper reviewed the research process and progress of bamboo recombination technology, the existing technical problems and prospects, in order to provide references for future research on bamboo recombination theory and production practice. In recent years, as a new material with controllable properties, designable structures, and adjustable dimensions, bamboo reconstituted materials have been comprehensively studied from the aspects of pressing process parameters, physicochemical mechanical properties evaluation system, and microstructure characterization, but the research is not comprehensive and has not in-depth view. In the future, the relationship between microstructure and performance should be emphatically studied to clarify the law of mechanical performance change and ultimate mechanical performance under synergistic enhancement effect, as well as the performance change and interface formation of the resin during the entire molding process. Meanwhile, the reliability and relevance of applied research should be further expanded, and the integration of natural and artificial aging environment, process and performance, and macroand microscales should be strengthened.

Effect of preservative treatment on physical and mechanical properties of bamboo (Gigantochloa scortechinii) strips

“…The reported reduction in swelling and shrinkage was caused by chemical modification of the lignocellulosic materials, according to Gauss et al (2021). The findings were also consistent with many other studies that used various other preservative treatments (Anwar Uyup et al 2009;Meng et al 2016;Huang et al 2019). Changes in several chemical components were responsible for changes in some physical properties of bamboo, such as density, swelling, volume shrinkage, and equilibrium moisture content, according to these studies.…”

Spatio-temporal evolution characteristics and mitigation path of carbon dioxide emission from China’s wood and bamboo processing industry

“…Wood and bamboo processing industry produces a variety of panels, roundwood, sawn wood, and bamboo, etc. [5,6]. These products are widely used in the furniture, construction, transportation, and packaging industries [7,8].…”

Mathematical models for the use, processing, and optimized utilization of natural arc‐shaped bamboo laminated lumber

“…[13][14][15][16][17][18][19] These materials play an active role in various fields, such as construction engineering, household products, and water transportation, and contribute to global carbon sequestration. [20][21][22][23][24][25][26] The manufacturing of the main bamboo engineering materials involves dividing or disintegrating the bamboo into small units, such as bamboo strips, bamboo strands, bamboo bundles, bamboo slivers, and bamboo chips, and then, recombining them using adhesives. [24,[27][28][29][30][31] The main limitations of these materials are the high destructiveness of raw materials, low utilization, need for large amounts of adhesives, and high cost.…”
