Processing and properties of engineering bamboo products

Made f rom the quickly renewable and high performance bamboo as raw material, engineering materials
of bamboo have three productions, glued bamboo sheets, laminated bamboo slices and graded bamboo filament com2posites. In the whole period of growth, collecting, processing, making, using and discarding, the materials used less energy, and caused no pollution. Compared with other engineering materials, the bamboos are badly uniform and regular. So, many ways can be used to improve the uniformity and regularity, such as grading, regular processing , soaking resin, orienting, laminating and pressing, controlling quality, and inspecting. Engineering bamboo materials have high mechanical properties, and can be used in wind turbine blades and boats.
