Density, which is closely relate with many physical and mechanical properties of bamboo, is one of the important indicators of bamboo material properties. Moreover, because of existing different moisture gradients in bamboo, the measured results of the density are different. Based on X-ray computed tomography (X-CT) technology, the divergent degree of the CT values of 7 different aged Moso bamboo was compared under oven-dried, air-dried and water-saturated conditions.

As the skeleton substances of lignocellulosic biomass cell wall and the precursor of biofuels production, the research on cellulose structure, an important natural biomarcromolecules, attracts great attention. Considering its in situ features and higher resolution, Raman spectroscopy has been used to investigate the structure of cellulose molecular chain and cellulose aggregation structure at multi-scale. In this paper, the configurations and corresponding parameters of two types of Raman spectroscopy (Dispersive Raman and FT-Raman) were compared.

The wood property and production process affect quality of Guqin. At the same time, Guqin shape with cavity layout relations to the improvement of Guqin technology and inheritance, so it's very important to get the internal cavity characteristics and parameters on the condition of non-destructive the structure of Guqin. The image of interior structure in Guqin was investigated by overall scanning based on non-destructive testing technology of computed tomography, which texture of faceplate, connection method between faceplate and soleplate and interior defects were studied.

Density is one of the important physical indicators of bamboo, associated with its many physical and mechanical properties. The temporal and spatial variation of density in 2-5-year-old Dendrocalamus farinosus were measured using computed tomography (CT) technology. Scanning parameters were obtained through orthogonal design.

X-ray diffraction technology was used to rapidly predict variation in microfibril angle (MFA) in Dendrocalamus fari- X-ray diffraction technology was used to rapidly predict variation in microfibril angle (MFA) in Dendrocalamus farinosus. The results show that there is little variation in MFA with bamboo age from 2a to 5e, and MFA of 3a is at the maximum with the value of 8.521 degrees.

The microfibril angle and crystallinity of bamboo treated with gamma rays were tested by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The result indicated that crystallinity in bamboo increased when irradiation dose was less than 100 kGy, while the irradiation dose was raised to about 100 kGy, crystallinity in bamboo reduced. But during the whole irradiation process, the influence on microfibril angle was not obvious, so it was not the dominant factors on variation in physical-mechanical properties of bamboo during the process of irradiation.
