A durable palm fiber composite material is obtained by impregnating an unprocessed palm bark in a resin adhesive solution prepared by using a palm leaf as a raw material and then hot-pressing. The palm bark is dried under a natural state without additional processing. The palm leaf is made into a tannin resin adhesive solution under the effect of additives such as furfuryl alcohol, paraformaldehyde, and others. A pH value of the adhesive solution is controlled to be 9-11. A solid content is 40-60%. An adhesive amount applied to the palm bark by the resin adhesive solution is 800-1500 g/m.sup.2. Odd number of layers (three or more layers) of palm barks that are impregnated by the resin adhesive solution and are hot-pressed to the composite material. Hot-pressed parameters are as follows: the temperature is 150-180 C. the unit pressure is 0.8-1.5 MPa, and the time is 10-30 s/mm.

An apparatus for delaminating a bamboo into fibers includes a machine frame, a machine seat arranged in a middle of the machine, a machine cover matching with the machine seat, a push plate, a power source, and an elastic member. The machine seat includes multiple grooves formed in a top to respectively receive therein bamboo pieces. The machine cover includes multiple ribs formed on a bottom thereof. The machine cover is slidable relative to the machine seat to have the ribs of the machine cover respectively receivable in and engageable with the grooves of the machine seat so as to sandwich bamboo pieces therebetween. A push plate is driven by the power source to selectively move relative to the machine seat and has a bent end portion that bends and pushes portions of the bamboo pieces to slide on the top of the machine cover.

The present invention relates to a method of producing a ribbon (12) comprising bamboo fibers (14), the method comprising: positioning the fibers (14) on a conveyor (16) and conveying the fibers in a transport direction, interconnecting the fibers (14) by: covering the fibers with thread (42) and/or particles of a sticky material with at least one web forming device (40) which is positioned above and/or below the conveyor and which ejects thread and/or particles, wherein the formed thread and/or particles attaches to the fibers and forms a web (45) which interconnects the fibers in order to form the ribbon, and/or stitching the fibres together with at least one stitching device (40B) which is configured to stitch the individual fibers together in order to form the ribbon.

A bamboo structural element (21) including slats (5) that have matching inner and outer radii. The slats (5) are nested and stacked to form a laminated stack (19), the stack being squared off to form a rectangular element (21), as by planing each of its four faces. In embodiments, selected fibers may be procured through radial planing, and the selected fibers incorporated into products. Alternatively, slats (5) can be shredded or crushed to form shredded or crushed fibers which can be incorporated into products.

Disclosed is a method for preparing a hydrophilic writing sliced bamboo veneer, including, in sequence, the following steps: (1) processing a sliced bamboo veneer into thin bamboo sheets with a thickness of 0.2-0.6 mm; (2) selecting the thin bamboo sheets with less color difference and fewer processing defects, and rolling the selected thin bamboo sheets on a plane; (3) performing deburring, sanding, and surface polishing on the rolled thin bamboo sheets; (4) performing mildewproofing and mothproofing treatment on the thin bamboo sheets; (5) performing surface coating treatment on the thin bamboo sheets using a coating material; (6) drying the coated thin bamboo sheets at low temperature; (7) fine-polishing the dried thin bamboo sheets; (8) cutting the thin bamboo sheets; and (9) flattening, compacting, and piling the cut thin bamboo sheets for future use.
