Short bamboo fibers prepared by super-heated steam treatment for antistatic bio-composites

In order to apply short bamboo fiber (sBF) as a functional reinforcement of bio-composites having specific electrical properties, lignin-surfaced sBF was prepared via super-heated steam (SHS) treatment of bamboo. The sBF was easily isolated from the intrinsic fibrovascular bundle structure of bamboo...
