Abstract:

The untreated and thermo-treated Phyllostachys edulis and Bambusa emeiensis bamboo fibrous veneer, which made with the dotted and/or linear shaped fiber separation technology on the semicircular bamboo tube, were reconstructed to form bamboo-based fiber composites with phenolic-formaldehyde adhesive. The physical and decay resistance properties were evaluated, and compared with the traditional bamboo bundle scrimber. The results showed that: Bamboo-based fiber composites showed superior performance than that of bamboo bundle scrimber.Bamboo-based fiber composites made from Bambusa emeiensis had better performances than that made from Phyllostachys edulis. Thermo-treatment would improve the properties of thickness swell, mould proof and so on, but decrease the horizontal shear strength. The bamboo fibrous veneer composed of interlaced fiber bundle was manufactured directly from semicircular bamboo tube without special removing the outer and inner layer of bamboo. The process was easier and the production efficiency was higher compared with traditional bamboo bundle.

Key words: bamboo fibrous veneer, bamboo-based fiber composites, outdoor flooring
