Preparation of bamboo-derived structured cellulose and its evaluation as resin composite materials

Bamboo, a highly productive and renewable resource, shows a high strength among other biomass resources. Composites of lignocellulose with a polymer are attracting attention as a new material for buildings and furniture according to recent demands for sustainable development goals (SDGs). The present report describes the first preparation of a composite with resin using an organosolv technique with water and 1-butanol solvent as pre-treatment of bamboo.
