Study of moso bamboo’s permeability and mechanical properties

摘要

In this article, moso bamboo blocks were first treated with hydrochloric acid solvents with different concentrations orrnmicrowave treatments with various microwave output power and treatment durations. The results showed that therncrystalliferous region of cellulose of moso bamboo blocks formed porous or swelling type structures under hydrochloricrnacid pretreatment conditions; the mechanical strength of the moso bamboo decreased when the percentage ofrnhydrochloric acid pretreatment solvents increased from 0 to 3%. When the moso bamboo blocks were treated withrnmicrowave, the internal water was transformed into steam, and the water vapor destroyed the cell walls of the vessel,rnsieve tube, and parenchyma cells in the moso bamboo block, resulting in a significant improvement in the permeabilityrnof moso bamboo. In order to ensure that the moso bamboo samples did not burn by microwave heating, the samplesrnhad to be immersed in water. The process of water gasification inside the Moso bamboo was not violent. Therefore,rnthe mechanical strength of the moso bamboo had decreased only slightly, and a weak relationship was found betweenrnthe mechanical strength of the moso bamboo samples and the microwave treatment durations.
