Three methods: wet, dry and steam explosion were used to extract fibers from bamboo shoot culm sheath. Wet extracting method gave the best bamboo fibers. The fibers got by wet method were flat while using dry methods, fibers were broken on the surface. Bamboo fibers using wet methods gave the highest tensile strength of 272 MPa. After treated with NaOH, the strength of bamboo fibers increased about 20% in comparing with untreated fibers while silane treated make bamboo fibers strength lower about 15%.
