| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, the structural changes of cell wall in bamboo during maturation was analyzed. The microfibril angles and lignin structures of bamboo cell walls were changed during the maturation. Moreover, these changes might have an association with the bending strength and dynamic viscoelasticity of bamboo culms. The cellulose nanofibers could be obtained from immature bamboo by applying a mild mechanical treatment and thermal characteristics of them was superior to mature bamboo. Immature bamboo can be a very promising source of raw material to produce cellulose nanofibers.
