Abstract
Thermal modification of bamboo at elevated temperatures is used as a modification method to improve its dimensional stability and biological resistance. The effect of different heat treatment temperatures on the bending strength of bamboo scrimber was investigated by treating bamboo strips at 140°C, 160°C, 180°C, and 200°C. Results showed that bamboo scrimber made from strips treated at 140°C had higher modulus of elasticity (MOE) and modulus of rupture (MOR) compared to those treated at higher temperatures. However, the bending strength of the scrimber decreased as the treatment temperature increased beyond 140°C.
