Abstract This work aimed to help the bamboo industry develop methodology for
producing imperfection-free bamboo boards that can serve either decorative or
structural benefit to consumers seeking to engage with the bioeconomy. Specifi-
cally, softened and slotted bamboo tubes were handled by a roller device with
nails to render crack-free flattened bamboo board. Softening temperature and time
were optimized herein according to findings regarding chemical composition and
board mechanical properties. The optimal softening parameters for saturated
steam heat treatment is proved to be 160°C for 8 minutes. The flattened bamboo
board possesses an increased bending strength… More >
