Bamboofibre is a cellulose fibre extracted or fabricatedfrom natural bamboo (andpossibly other additives) and is made from (or in the case ofmaterial fabrication, is) the pulp of bamboo plants. It is usuallynot made from the fibres of the plant, but is a syntheticviscose made from bamboocellulose. (In the US, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has ruledthat unless a yarn is made directly with bamboo fiber — oftencalled “mechanically processed bamboo” — it must be called"rayon" or "rayon made frombamboo".
Bamboo is extremelyresilient and durable as a fiber. In studies comparing it to cottonand polyester, it is found to have a high breaking tenacity, bettermoisture wicking properties, and better moisture absorption.Insuperseding these other fibers in these various areas, supportersof bamboo fiber products and goods tout it as more Eco-friendlythan cotton and polyester.
Bamboo composite andbiopolymer construction
There are variousapproaches to the use of bamboo in composites and as an additive inbiopolymers for construction. In this case (as opposed to bamboofabrics for clothing) bamboo fibres are extracted throughmechanical needling and scraping or through a steam explosionprocess where bamboo is injected with steam and placed underpressure and then exposed to the atmosphere where small explosionswithin the bamboo due to steam release allows for the collection ofbamboo fibre. Bamboo fibre can be in a pulped form in which thematerial is extremely fine and in a powdered state.
Ecological reasons forusing bamboo as a raw material for textiles andclothing
Bamboo has manyadvantages over cotton as a raw material for textiles. Reaching upto 35 metres tall, bamboos are the largest members of the grassfamily They are the fastest growing woody plants in the world. oneJapanese species has been recorded as growing over 1 metre in a dayThere are over 1600 species of bamboo found in diverse climatesfrom cold mountains to hot tropical regions. about 40 millionhectares of the earth is covered with bamboo, mostly in Asia.Thehigh growth rate of bamboo and the fact that bamboo can grow insuch diverse climates makes the bamboo plant a sustainable andversatile resource. The bamboo species used for clothing is calledMoso bamboo. Moso bamboo is the most important bamboo in China,where it covers about 3 million hectares (about 2% of the totalChinese forest area). It is the main species for bamboo timber andplays an important role for the ecological environment.
