Abstract Engineered bamboo has recently received lots of attention of civil engineers and professional researchers due to its
better mechanical performance than that of softwood timber. Parallel strand bamboo is one important part of
engineered bamboo for its excellent durable performance compared to the laminated veneer bamboo. The
required curing temperature in hot-pressing process is usually higher than 120°C to reduce the content of nutritional ingredients and hemy cellulose, and to avoid the decay from the environment and insects. Nonetheless, the
appearance of engineered bamboo gets darker with the increase of temperature during the hot-pressing process.
In order to minimize the… More >
