Physical and mechanical properties of several bamboo species have been studied extensively. Chapter 3 presents the fiber length distribution of Phyllostachys pubescens at different age, layer and location. Contact angle of different layers of the bottom portion of three year old bamboo were measured by dynamic contact angle measurement. Specific gravity and bending properties of bamboo at different ages, horizontal layers, and height locations were also determined. Also compressive strength at different ages and height locations were determined. MDF is the most commonly industrially produced type fiberboard and often has excellent physical mechanical properties, and.
