Mechanical properties on bamboo
Bamboo can be categorized as the strongest growing woody plant on earth due to the high specific modulus, higher strength and higher compressive strength. In this work, bamboo specimens were impregnated with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) for the chemical treatment. The vacuu...

| description | Bamboo can be categorized as the strongest growing woody plant on earth due
to the high specific modulus, higher strength and higher compressive strength. In this
work, bamboo specimens were impregnated with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and Sodium
hydroxide (NaOH) for the chemical treatment. The vacuum-pressure has been used to
impregnate the sample. Bamboo treatment was characterized using Fourier Transform
Infrared (FTIR) Spectroscopy. Compression bending test is conducted on bamboo treated
with different type of bamboo based on the direction. Young’s modulus and flexural
stress are measured. Impregnation of bamboo sample was confirmed through FTIR. The
work also deals with water absorption. Based on the results, the bamboo treated has
higher Young’s modulus and low rate water absorption. |
