It introduces the physical, chemical and the mechanical properties as well as the characterization of bamboo. Novel industrial applications in structural, non-structural, reinforcement, afforestation, land reclamation, environmental significance, textile, medical, geotechnical, hydraulic, food, Pulp and the paper industries are addressed in detail. Bamboo has been used for centuries as a structural material as well as in diverse engineering applications, food and medicinal purposes, especially in Asia. As a natural fiber composite, bamboo has the potential for many developments in academic and industrial research. Current literature on composites tends to focus on bamboo as a plant or solely as a structural engineering material. This book seeks to bring together these two extremes and provides a holistic resource on the subject. 606 $aMechanics 606 $aMechanics, Applied 606 $aCeramics 606 $aGlass 606 $aComposites (Materials) 606 $aComposite materials 606 $aForest products 606 $aMaterials science 606 $aPolymers   606 $aStructural materials 606 $aSolid Mechanics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T15010 606 $aCeramics, Glass, Composites, Natural Materials$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Z18000 606 $aWood Science & Technology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L22032 606 $aCharacterization and Evaluation of Materials$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Z17000 606 $aPolymer Sciences$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/C22008 606 $aStructural Materials$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Z11000 615 0$aMechanics. 615 0$aMechanics, Applied. 615 0$aCeramics. 615 0$aGlass. 615 0$aComposites (Materials). 615 0$aComposite materials. 615 0$aForest products. 615 0$aMaterials science. 615 0$aPolymers  . 615 0$aStructural materials. 615 14$aSolid Mechanics. 615 24$aCeramics, Glass, Composites, Natural Materials. 615 24$aWood Science & Technology. 615 24$aCharacterization and Evaluation of Materials. 615 24$aPolymer Sciences. 615 24$aStructural Materials. 676 $a620.1 700 $aAkinlabi$b Esther Titilayo$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0937034 702 $aAnane-Fenin$b Kwame$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aAkwada$b Damenortey Richard$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254157103321 996 $aBamboo$92110441 997 $aUNINA
