  Abstract

Four widely grown bamboo species, Bissetii, Giant Gray, Moso, and Red Margin, were studied for natural bamboo fiber (NBF) extraction using 36 routes with respective fiber yield percentages where total use of NaOH was less than 24 g/l in any specific processing route. The Red Margin species was found to have the most potential for NBF extraction. This study provides reports on moisture regain (average 8.0 %) and moisture content (average 7.5 %), incineration behavior, solubility properties, surface morphology, length and diameter of single NBF (10-13 關m), and fineness of NBFs from four plants and comparative results with conventional fibers. Yarns of NBFs blended with cotton were created and their tensile properties were tested. NBFs that were longer and coarser in initial stages, with high breaking tenacity of 63.74-138.63 N/Tex and lower elongation of 2.06-2.46 % were judged to be good for some textile applications. Finer and shorter NBFs provide a lower strength in the blended yarns than cotton fibers.
