Abstract

The bamboo strand lumber (scrimber) reinforced with different concentration of nanoparticles were developed. The effects of nanoparticles on fire resistance and smoke suppression properties of bamboo scrimber were studied. Nano-CaCO3, CaO, MgCO3 and MgO reinforcement were proposed to improve mechanical, fire resistance and smoke suppression properties of bamboo scrimber. Thermal degradation temperature was increased with nanoparticles loading, and the optimum value results with 2% pre-impregnation treatment. The heat transfer in bamboo scrimber was prevented, and the escaping channel of combustible gas was blocked by nanoparticles. Best result was achieved with 5% nanoparticles treatment.
