“…After one-way ANOVA analysis, there was no significant difference in the length-diameter ratio of the fibers along the radial direction. The size of the length-diameter ratio of bamboo fibers is an important factor that affects the quality of paper [ 45 ]. The greater the length-diameter ratio of the fiber, the higher the tear strength of the paper, whereas fibers with a low length-to-diameter ratio below 45 exhibits less suitability as raw materials in the papermaking process [ 46 ].…”

Unlike the culm hollow structure of most bamboo species, Oxytenanthera abyssinica has a unique solid or semi-solid culm, which may endow it with superior mechanical performance. In this study, the variation in fiber morphology and micro-mechanical properties across the radial regions of bamboo culm was examined by optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and nanoindentation. Results showed that the mean values of vascular bundle frequency and fiber tissue proportion were 1.76 pcs/mm2 and 21.04%, respectively, both of which increased gradually from inner to outer. The mean length, diameter, and length-diameter ratio of the fiber were 2.10 mm, 21.54 μm, and 101.41 respectively. The mean indentation modulus of elasticity (IMOE) and hardness were 21.34 GPa and 545.88 MPa. The IMOE exhibited a significant increase from the inner to the middle region, and little change was observed from the middle to the outer region. There were slight fluctuations in hardness along the radial direction. The mean crystallinity and microfibril angle(MFA) of the fibers was 68.12% and 11.26 degrees, respectively. There is a positive correlation between cellulose crystallinity and the IMOE and hardness, while there is a negative correlation between the MFA and the IMOE and the hardness.
