During the second day of India International Science Festival (IISF 2023), the Know-How Technology on “Bamboo Composites” was transferred to materials manufacturing company.
Bamboo composites are materials that blend bamboo fibres with other substances to form composite materials.
The bamboo composite product resembles teak wood with better durability & dimensional stability, high strength, density, mechanical strength, fire resistance, moisture resistance, and natural & aesthetic appearance.
Within 3-4 years, the bamboo gets matured can be utilised for developing into bamboo composite, unlike teak wood, which requires 30-40 years to grow.
Bamboo is also an excellent absorber of CO2 and releases oxygen in large amount (approximately 35%) which helps to cure global warming.
