The Cross Section View of Bamboo Fiber

It is seen that the cross section of single bamboo fiber is round with a small round lumen

These gaps, cracks and grooves, like capillary, are responsible for an instant moisture absorption and evaporation

Most of the bamboo fibers had multi lamellate cell walls with various layers. The width and length of bamboo single fiber are 6–12 μm, 2–3 mm, respectively. REFRENCE:- Dr Shah J N and Dr Shah S R. ˝Bamboo: The Green

Fibre of 21st Century; Characteristics and Structure”. Bangladesh Textile Today.Dec.2012; 39.

Crystalline structureAccording to results of XRD, although the

crystalline structure of the bamboo fiber belongs to cellulose I, it is not the same as those of flax, cotton and ramie completely.

Fine Structure

XRD Graphs of the Fibers: Bamboo Fiber, Flax, Ramie and Jute Fibers

In the angle of diffraction peaks, quite similar to that of wood, which shows overlapping of the diffraction peaks at (101) and (101) lattice plane.

It may be because of a high percentage of amorphous hemi cellulose and lignin in the bamboo fiber. In addition, the degree of crystallinity of the bamboo fibers is lower than those of the flax and cotton, and similar to that of jute.

The low degree of crystallinity (52.54%) for the bamboo fiber may be due to lot of substances grown with cellulose resultantly disturbing the formation of the cellulose crystalline structure during the growth of bamboo and about 20% of lignin and hemi cellulose residuals in fiber will effect testing results to some extent

Degree of polymerization (DP) DP of the bamboo fiber is close to that of the jute fiber, but lower

than those of flax and ramie, and far lower than that of cotton. The lower DP would usually lead to lower tenacity for the fibers.

The DP of cellulose in fiber also is dependent on its surroundings. Higher the lignin content is in the plant, the lower the DP of cellulose may be because of disturbance created by the non-cellulose substances during polymerization, this can be proved by the group of weak cellulose characteristic absorption peaks at the wave numbers of 1032–1158cm–1 in the infrared spectrum of the bamboo fiber (figure-10), also, by fibre size

Applications of Bamboo Textile

Bamboo Shoes

The present study we carried out pretreatment, dyeing & finishing of bamboo fabric MANUFACTURED FROM natural resources.

EnzymesNatural dye

Natural finishing agent

Comparison of the results between natural wet processing & conventional wet processing of bamboo fabric

Main object is to produced 100% eco-friendly bamboo fabric ---- NO hazards chemicals.

Save energy & eliminate harmful effect of effluent to preserve the green status of earth.

Scope of present study

Safer reactions

Used of renewable raw materials

Sustain biodegradability

Literature surveyed based on green status of bamboo textile. Manufacturing of bamboo fiber

Conventional process of bamboo textile & it’s involves hazard Development of areas of bamboo fiber processing

Green wet processing of textiles. Bamboo processing presently is not eco-friendly We survey the eco-friendly process & also various enzymes to eliminate sodium hydroxide with enzymes. We survey the three natural dye which produced some herbal properties on bamboo textile. We survey natural finishing agent ALOE VERA which impart the special antimicrobial

properties on bamboo textile.

 

Literature review

Out come of Literature review oxidative bleaching are carried out using hydrogen peroxide in

conventional method.

Enzymes is a specialized protein produced within an organism which is capable of catalyzing specific chemical reaction i.e. hydrolysis, oxidation, reduction, etc.

Factors affecting enzyme activity are effect of temperature, Effect of pH, Effect of activators, Redox potential,

In the present study hemicellulase, cellulase & pectinase enzymes are used to process of eco-friendly pretreatment of bamboo fabric.

Pectinases capable of hydrolyzing pectinic substances are generally enzyme complexes containing esterases and depolymerases with random or terminal activities.
