Chemical compositions and natural cellulose fiber characteristics of several bamboo shoot shells by JIA Yan-fang, SHI Wei-yong

“…In order to broaden the utilization approach of bamboo shoot shells, advanced techniques such as scanning electron microscope (SEM), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) were employed to characterize the natural biofiber. The main results were as follows: 1) Fibers of bamboo shoot shells were mainly composed of 36% -40% cellulose and 35% -46% hemicellulose, while the content of lignin was only 1% -8%; 2) the fiber of bamboo shoot shells was circular with obvious grooves observed by SEM; 3) in the infrared spectrum, it had a general characteristic of cellulose absorption peaks; 4) the fiber of bamboo shoot shells belonged to the typical cellulose type I, and the crystallinity was about 40%, which was similar with fiber from rice straw, but was much lower than cotton and hemp fibers; 5) in the TGA curves, the fiber began to decompose at about 190 ℃, and the main mass loss temperature was about 310 ℃. …”
