Abstract
This research primarily focuses on analyzing the nanostructural properties of bamboo
fibrous materials. Raw materials from bamboo in the form of pulp, fiber (filament) and fabric are studied for their physical and chemical
properties at the nanoscale. Nanostructural properties of these materials are being studied using X-ray crystallography, Fourier Transform
Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). Bamboo’s chemical structure, crystalline percentage and atomic force
structures are planned to be analyzed in this study. Comparison of these properties with other natural materials including wood pulp and
other biodegradable substances will allow us to place bamboo on a relative sustainability scaling. Additional to gaining a fundamental
understanding of bamboo fiber/material, this study also creates a ground to develop a measure for sustainability index.
