The present study aims to investigate the appropriate size of bamboo fibers derived from waste bamboo and determine the optimal duration for soaking in bio-fermented water to facilitate fabric molding. Additionally, we seek to explore the properties of non-woven fabric products manufactured from bamboo fibers. The study factors encompass three grades of bamboo fibers, designated A, B, and C, as well as five levels of fermentation time: 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 days. A Completely Randomized Design (CRD) experiment is planned to assess both physical and microbial properties. Furthermore, we will analyze the inhibition of and bacteria in accordance with AATCC test standards and determine the optimal ratio for non-woven fabric molding. Regarding the ratio of bamboo fiber to polyester fiber, we will investigate three levels: 50:50, 70:30, and 100:0, with the objective of designing medical lifestyle products.Preliminary findings indicate that grade B bamboo fibers exhibit a light brown color and a relatively thin structure, with lengths ranging from 1 to 3 cm, rendering them suitable for most fabric production processes. Notably, unfermented bamboo fibers demonstrate higher inhibition of and bacterial growth compared to their fermented counterparts. Additionally, our results suggest that the ingredient ratio significantly impacts the molding process, with a 99.94% effect. Remarkably, a blend of bamboo fiber and polyester fiber in a 70:30 ratio can be mechanically processed to create needle-pressed fabric, utilizing a method that involves pressing and tight weaving. This innovative approach facilitates the production of antibacterial non-woven fabric products suitable for elderly individuals, ready for practical use in community settings as a best practice solution.

This study focuses on developing an active and biodegradable packaging using electrospinning, with polylactic acid (PLA) as the matrix and bamboo leaf extract (BLE) as the antioxidant compound. The research systematically evaluates the relationship among process parameters, material properties, and structure. The electrospun membranes were produced using different BLE contents (10 wt%, 20 wt%, 30 wt%, and 40 wt%) and characterized by their morphology, mechanical properties, wettability, and antioxidant activity.

Bamboo culm has been widely used in engineering for its high strength, lightweight, and low cost. Its outermost epidermis is a smooth and dense layer that contains cellulose, silica particles, and stomata and acts as a water and mechanical barrier. Recent experimental studies have shown that the layer has a higher mechanical strength than other inside regions.

Article Synopsis
- Ozone is effective in extracting lignocellulosic fibers due to its selectivity for lignin, but the mechanism of lignin degradation during this process is not well understood.
- Researchers examined the structural changes in milled wood lignin from scutched flax tow before and after ozone treatment using various analytical techniques.
- The study found that ozone treatment damaged specific lignin linkages and converted S-type lignin units into G-type units, offering important insights into the delignification process in lignocellulosic fiber extraction.
