The document summarizes key characteristics of bamboo fibers. Bamboo fibers have a round cross-section with a small central lumen. They easily absorb and evaporate moisture due to small cracks and grooves. Most bamboo fibers have multi-layer cell walls of varying thickness. Bamboo fibers have a crystalline structure similar to cellulose I but with overlapping diffraction peaks, likely due to high amounts of amorphous components like hemicellulose and lignin. Bamboo fibers also have a lower degree of crystallinity and polymerization compared to other fibers like cotton, resulting in lower tensile strength.

1.  The Cross Section View of Bamboo Fiber
 It is seen that the cross section of single bamboo fiber is
round with a small round lumen
 These gaps, cracks and grooves, like capillary, are
responsible for an instant moisture absorption and
evaporation
 Most of the bamboo fibers had multi lamellate cell walls
with various layers. The width and length of bamboo single
fiber are 6–12 μm, 2–3 mm, respectively.

2.  Crystalline structure
 According to results of XRD, although the crystalline
structure of the bamboo fiber belongs to cellulose I, it is
not the same as those of flax, cotton and ramie
completely.

3.  In the angle of diffraction peaks, quite similar to that of wood, which
shows overlapping of the diffraction peaks at (101) and (101) lattice plane.
 It may be because of a high percentage of amorphous hemi cellulose and
lignin in the bamboo fiber. In addition, the degree of crystallinity of the
bamboo fibers is lower than those of the flax and cotton, and similar to
that of jute.
 The low degree of crystallinity (52.54%) for the bamboo fiber may be due
to lot of substances grown with cellulose resultantly disturbing the
formation of the cellulose crystalline structure during the growth of
bamboo and about 20% of lignin and hemi cellulose residuals in fiber
will effect testing results to some extent

4.  Degree of polymerization (DP)
 DP of the bamboo fiber is close to that of the jute fiber, but lower than those of
flax and ramie, and far lower than that of cotton. The lower DP would usually
lead to lower tenacity for the fibers.
 The DP of cellulose in fiber also is dependent on its surroundings. Higher the
lignin content is in the plant, the lower the DP of cellulose may be because of
disturbance created by the non-cellulose substances during polymerization,
this can be proved by the group of weak cellulose characteristic absorption
peaks at the wave numbers of 1032–1158cm–1 in the infrared spectrum of the
bamboo fiber (figure-10), also, by fibre size

pretreatment, dyeing & finishing of bamboo
fabric MANUFACTURED FROM natural
resources.
Enzymes
Natural dye
Natural finishing agent
 Comparison of the results between natural
wet processing & conventional wet processing
of bamboo fabric

11.  Main object is to produced 100% eco-friendly
bamboo fabric ---- NO hazards chemicals.
Save energy & eliminate harmful effect of
effluent to preserve the green status of earth.

12.  Safer reactions
Used of renewable raw materials
 Sustain biodegradability

13.  Literature surveyed based on green status of bamboo textile.
 Manufacturing of bamboo fiber
 Conventional process of bamboo textile & it’s involves hazard
 Development of areas of bamboo fiber processing
 Green wet processing of textiles.
 Bamboo processing presently is not eco-friendly
 We survey the eco-friendly process & also various enzymes to eliminate
sodium hydroxide with enzymes.
 We survey the three natural dye which produced some herbal properties
on bamboo textile.
 We survey natural finishing agent ALOE VERA which impart the
special antimicrobial properties on bamboo textile.

14. Out come of Literature review
 oxidative bleaching are carried out using hydrogen peroxide in
conventional method.
 Enzymes is a specialized protein produced within an organism
which is capable of catalyzing specific chemical reaction i.e.
hydrolysis, oxidation, reduction, etc.
 Factors affecting enzyme activity are effect of temperature, Effect
of pH, Effect of activators, Redox potential,
 In the present study hemicellulase, cellulase & pectinase enzymes
are used to process of eco-friendly pretreatment of bamboo fabric.
 Pectinases capable of hydrolyzing pectinic substances are
generally enzyme complexes containing esterases and
depolymerases with random or terminal activities.
