Abstract


This article observes the micro-structure of bamboo fibers treated with water and calcium hydroxide solution for 5 min respectively, using optical microscope, scanning electron microscope (SEM), Infrared analysis, Thermal analysis, Tensile strength analysis, and examines their chemical structure and quality changes. Results show that after treatment with calcium hydroxide solution, the components of the bamboo fiber surface, such as glue, hemicellulose, and pectin, were effectively removed; The thermal stability of bamboo fiber was improved after treatment with calcium hydroxide solution; The treated bamboo fiber products have a nanometer-level diameter, with an average diameter of 10.33 μm; The tensile strength of bamboo fibers treated with calcium hydroxide solution is approximately 1.53 times higher than that of bamboo fibers treated with water, as observed by the tensile tester.
