Summary:Bamboo is one of the renewable materials which can be applied in the engineering field widely. Previous research has shown that bamboo’s inherent poor durability can limit the application of bamboo materials. And nanotechnology has been receiving more and more attention on improving the properties of natural materials, simultaneously. This article aims to promote the application of nanotechnology on bamboo by presenting some guides. And this article has been organized as follows: first, the characteristics and nanomechanical behavior of bamboo in mesoscopic and nanoscopic scale have been introduced. Then, nanomaterials for modifying bamboo have been presented. Next, some analyses on the improvement of some properties of nano-modified bamboo materials have been made. Finally, future perspectives have been discussed.
