Abstract

Natural fibers are promising alternatives to synthetic fibers because of their sustainability, low environmental footprint and specific properties desirable for a wide range of technical engineering applications. The industrial implementation of fine grade natural bamboo fibers, including technical (100–200 microns) and elementary fibers (<30 microns) has been of increasing interest in recent times because these fibers offer a unique set of properties including high tensile strength, antibacterial and UV absorption. However to date, very little scientific effort has been devoted to fully understand the inter-correlation between their mechanical, physico-chemical, microstructural and morphological properties. In this paper, we report for the first time the structure–property relationship of elementary bamboo fibers. The impact of the inner microstructural organization of fibers (including the micro-fibrils angle) and physico-chemical factors such as the cellulose content and crystallinity index, on the tensile performance of these fibers is discussed in detail. This work also provides an insight into the application of bamboo fibers as natural and low-cost sorbent material for the removal of Cu2+ metal ions from model industrial wastewater. The metal ion adsorption properties of the fibers are correlated to surface energy analysis obtained from inverse gas chromatography.
