Abstract

The characteristics of mould resistance of bamboo after hydrothermally treated at 140 °C with water only, NaOH, NaAc aqueous solution, then heat treated at relatively mild conditions (180 °C) were determined. Strong degradation of hemicelluloses, modification of lignin and creation of phenolic compounds in the bamboo by the heat treatment could inhibit the mould growth to some extent.
