  Abstract

Bamboo grows widely in zones with a wet season ranging from the tropics to temperate areas and an attractive material due to their rapidity of growth. In this study, the possibility of cellulose nanofiber production by applying a mild mechanical treatment to immature bamboo in various stages of lignification was examined. The degree of polymerization and crystallinity of the cellulose pulp were found to increase with the degree of maturity of the raw bamboo samples. After the fibrillation and filtration, the crystallinity of cellulose sheets obtained from immature bamboo with lower maturation was increased. The cellulose nanofiber can be obtained from immature bamboo which contains <10 wt% of lignin by mild mechanical treatment. Moreover, bamboo of this degree of maturity offers advantages over mature bamboo in terms of its thermal characteristics. Immature bamboo can be a very promising source of raw material for the production of cellulose nanofibers.
