Abstract In recent years, bamboo has been widely used in a broad range of applications, a thorough understanding of the
structural characteristics of bamboo nodes is essential for better processing and manufacturing of biomimetic
materials. This study investigated the complex anatomical structure for the nodes of two bamboo species, Indocalamus latifolius (Keng) McClure and Shibataea chinensis Nakai, using a high-resolution X-ray microtomography (μCT). The results show that the vascular bundle system in the nodal region of I. latifolius and S. chinensis is a
net-like structure composed of horizontal and axial vascular bundles. Furthermore, the fiber sheath surrounding
metaxylem vessels tended to… More >
