Origin of Bamboo Fiber
Bamboo Fiber is a regenerated cellulose fiber produced from raw bamboo pulp . First, bamboo pulp is refined from bamboo through a process of hydrolysisalkalization and multi-phase bleaching. The bamboo pulp is then processed into bamboo fiber. Repeated tests have proved it has strong durability, stability and tenacity and the thinness and whiteness of bamboo fiber is similar to classic viscose. Bamboo fiber is easy to spin – it can be spun purely or blended with other materials such as cotton, silk, tencel, modal fiber and so on.

Advantages of Bamboo
Natural Anti Bacterial It is a common fact that bamboo can thrive naturally without the need for pesticides. It is seldom eaten by pests or infected by pathogen. Why? Scientists found that bamboo owns a unique anti-bacteria and bacteriostasis bio-agent named "bamboo kun". This substance combines with bamboo cellulose molecule tightly during the production of bamboo fiber. Bamboo fiber has natural functions of anti-bacteria, bacteriostasis and deodorization. It is validated by Japan Textile Inspection Association that even after fifty times of washing, bamboo fiber fabric still possesses excellent antibacteria functions. The test result shows over 70% death rate after bacteria are being incubated on bamboo fibre fabric. Bamboo fiber's natural antibacteria function differs greatly from that of chemical antimicrobial – as it has no allergic reactions. Green & Biodegradable Bamboo fiber is praised as "the natural, green, and ecofriendly new-type textile material of 21st century" As a regenerated cellulose fiber, bamboo fiber is 100% made from bamboo through high-tech process. The raw material bamboo is selected from non-polluted regions in Yunnan and Sicuan Provinces in China. The distilling and producing processes are natural and eco friendly and do not use chemical additives. cross-section of the bamboo fiber is filled with various micro-gaps and micro-holes, it has much better

    As nutrition labeling becomes essential throughout the world, it is recognized that a single definition of fiber may be needed. New products are being developed or isolated that behave like fiber, yet do not meet the traditional requirements of fiber, either analytically or physiologically. Without an accurate definition of fiber, compounds can be designed or isolated and concentrated using available methods without necessarily providing beneficial health effects, which most people consider to be an important attribute of fiber. Most of us are familiar with the terms "soluble fiber" and "insoluble fiber” but what is the actual difference? Soluble fibers bind with fatty acids and slow digestion so blood sugars are released more slowly into the body. These fibers help lower LDL cholesterol and help regulate blood sugar levels for people with diabetes. Insoluble fibers help hydrate and move waste through the intestines and control the pH levels in the intestines. These fibers help prevent constipation and keep you regular. The three most commonly used fibers are dietary, functional, and total fibers. Dietary Fiber consists of non-digestible carbohydrates and lignin that are intrinsic and intact in plants. Functional Fiber consists of isolated, non-digestible carbohydrates that have beneficial physiological effects in humans. Total Fiber is the sum of Dietary Fiber and Functional Fiber. Dietary fiber comes from the portion of plants that is not digested by enzymes in the intestinal tract. Part of it, however, may be metabolized by bacteria in the lower gut. Different types of plants vary in their amount and kind of fiber. Dietary Fiber includes pectin, gum, mucilage, cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin. Pectin and gum are water-soluble fibers found inside plant cells. They slow the passage of food through the intestines but do nothing to increase fecal bulk. In contrast, fibers in cell walls are water insoluble. These include cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin. Such…

    Dyes are organic compounds that can be used to impart bright, permanent colors to fabrics. The affinity of a dye for a fabric depends on the chemical structures of the dye and fabric molecules and also on the interactions between them. Three common fabrics are wool, cotton and nylon. Wool is a protein, a naturally occurring polymer made up of amino acids with ionized side chains. Cotton is a naturally occurring polymer made up of glucose units with hydrophilic groups surrounding each glucose unit. Nylon is a synthetic polymer made of hydrocarbon repeating chains joined together by highly polar amide. (-CONH-) functional…

    This is because the manufacturing process of the bamboo is simple and not complicated, and requires no additional care, such as polishing and repaint. All that is necessary, is to cut the bamboo into the desired length. Furthermore, it can be easily removed and detached, as it is very lightweight. It can then be repositioned or stored for further usage. Moreover, bamboo is generally known to the construction industry for a large number of reasons, but it is best known for its physical traits. Guadua bamboo is a species of bamboo is most commonly used for construction purposes. Its tissue construction as well as the chemical it contains are critical factors to the bamboo’s physical uniqueness. Its tissue construction is 9% conductive tissue, 40% fiber and 51% parenchyma. This proves that bamboo has an extraordinary amount of fiber; five times of those that would be found in typical trees. This grants the Guadua bamboo extreme elasticity and durability. Furthermore, it also comprises a large amount of silicic acid, which is a chemical that makes the bamboo durable and rigid. Such tissue composition allows the bamboo to be as rigid and flexible as it is. Research has shown that the Guadua bamboo has a tensile strength of 40 kN(kilo-newtons)/cm2, a force that is equivalent to roughly 4079 kg. The tensile strength of the bamboo by far exceeds timber fibers which have a tensile strength of 5 kN/cm2, in addition to mild steel, which has a tensile strength of 36 kN/cm2. The elasticity of bamboos make them suitable for constructions of skyscrapers, as they can first, withstand the force of the wind and return to its original form; whereas steel or wood has a greater potential to snap, due to the fact that they possess less of the elasticity and endurance of the bamboo. Such data could conclude that bamboo is…

    Moreover the bonding between sawdust and the hydrophobic matrix has effected to the mechanical properties of the composite material. The major problems of wood composites are associated with the hydrophilic character of the cellulose structure of fiber. To overcome these problems, it is necessary to modify the fiber surface by the physical and chemical methods to reduce the hydrophilic nature of the sawdust and improve the sawdust–matrix bonding. In general, the surface modification by using suitable chemical treatments of the fiber [4]; A significant increase in the strength of composites after treatment of the sawdust have shown that the interface quality of sawdust, cassava starch and NR latex composites could be enhanced through different surface modifications, such as dewaxing, alkali treatment, cyanoethylation, and benzolation.…
