Abstract

The length of bamboo culms makes the obtained fibers promising for application in composites, both for the reinforcement of oil-based matrices and of biomatrices. However, the varietal diversity of bamboo species and the mode of extraction from the plant, which can involve mechanical and chemical stages, both contribute in changing the morphology of the fibers and their performance. A number of studies exist in trying to relate the above aspects to the performance of the obtained composites, which are reviewed in this chapter. For the aforementioned reasons, the existing literature gives scattered evidence of bamboo potential in composite, despite the inherently outstanding properties of this plant. This has been explained by the difficulties in controlling mechanical and morphological properties of extracted fibers, and as the consequence of the obtained composites.
