Processing Of a Manufacturing Material Using Treated Bamboo

Natural plant fibers have unequivocally contributed economic prosperity and sustainability in our daily lives. Particularly, bamboo fibers have been used for industrial applications as diverse as textiles, paper, and construction. Recent renewed interest in bamboo fiber (BF) is primarily targeted for the replacement or reduction in use of glass fiber from nonrenewable resources. In this project, various mechanical, chemical, and biological approaches for the preparation and separation of bamboo fibers from raw bamboo are summarized. In this work the mechanical properties of Bamboo Fiber Reinforced Composite (BFRC) were studied. The bamboo fibers were prepared through chemical treatment by CUSO4, Borax and Boric acid followed by physical milling method. Compression, tensile, hardness were showed improvement in mechanical properties. Hence this composite material can be used as a manufacturing material for production, manufacturing industries.
