Bamboo: An Alternative Raw Material for Wood and Wood-Based Composites (2013, background): “The total culm tissue consists of 50% parenchyma, 40% fibers and 10% conducting cells (Liese, 1998).”
Plant Fiber Formation: State of the Art, Recent and Expected Progress, and Open Questions (2012, background): “Bamboo phloem fibers retain their living protoplasts over several growing seasons (Murphy and Alvin, 1997; Liese, 1998).”
Prospect of bamboo as a renewable textile fiber, historical overview, labeling, controversies and regulation (2016, background): “Usually the maturation changes pertaining to lignifications and thickening of cell wall complete within 3–4 years (Liese 1998; Gritsch et al.”
Morphological aspects and mechanical properties of single bamboo fibers and flexural characterization of bamboo/ epoxy composites (2011, background): “This structure does not exist in the cell walls of fibers of normal wood and leads to an extremely high tensile strength of the culm.(21,26) In the case of Bamboo Guadua angustifolia, the average value of the tensile strength of the culm is 190MPa.”
