THERMOGRAVIMETRIC ANALYSIS AND WEATHERING STUDY BY WATER IMMERSION OF ALKALI-TREATED BAMBOO STRIPS

The effects of alkali treatment on the thermal degradation and weather-ing properties of bamboo strips were investigated in this work. Dried bamboo strips with average dimensions of 100 x 15 x (1.1-1.5) mm were mercerized with caustic soda solution (10%, 15%, 20%, and 25%) (w/v) at ambient temperatu...
