Fiber properties and chemical compositions of sheaths from three selected sympodial bamboo species as raw materials for papermaking in Yunnan of China

The fiber properties and chemical compositions of Fargesia yunnanensis , Neosinocalamus affinis and Dendrocalamus farinosus sheaths at different growth stages were investigated. Sheaths contained short and medium-sized fibers. Both the slenderness ratio and Runkel ratio showed good suitability of th...

Summary:The fiber properties and chemical compositions of Fargesia yunnanensis , Neosinocalamus affinis and Dendrocalamus farinosus sheaths at different growth stages were investigated. Sheaths contained short and medium-sized fibers. Both the slenderness ratio and Runkel ratio showed good suitability of the sheaths as raw material for papermaking. Shedding sheath of N. affinis were found to be the best as they exhibited a better slenderness ratio and Runkel ratio, as well as low ash, moderate SiO 2 and greater holocellulose content, whereas F. yunnanensis sheaths provided the poorest results.
