Influence of alkali treatment on physico-chemical properties of Malaysian bamboo fiber: A preliminary study = Pengaruh rawatan alkali terhadap sifat-sifat fizikal-kimia serat buluh Malaysia: satu kajian awal

In the present study, the effect of alkaline treatment on the morphology and physico-chemical properties of Malaysian bamboo fibers was elucidated. The fibers were extracted from raw bamboo culm using alkaline solution with concentrations of 0 and 10 wt% at 24 hours and followed by roller milling te...
