Bamboo biomass is known for its low cost, abundance, fast growth rate, low weight-to-height ratio, and load-bearing abilities, making it an attractive alternative to materials such as wood, metal, steel, and plastic for multiple applications. Bamboo is traditionally used in handicrafts, food, building, construction, pulp, and paper. The production of energy and green adsorbents with unique properties are a few emerging applications of bamboo. Porous structured, bamboo-based charcoal allows the separation of solute from solvent and can be used to detoxify the air, water, and soil. The surface functional groups can be enhanced during thermal processing, yielding activated carbon products and serving greenhouse gas capturing applications. Nanoparticle particles (Ni0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4 and silver) coated bamboo charcoal has shown microwave and Infrared energy shielding effects. Bamboo-based charcoal also has exceptional medicinal values, is an efficient drug-delivery agent, and has tremendous potential for small and medium enterprises. Bamboo charcoal is also investigated as a toxin adsorber and hence a blood purifier. This review also considers the potential and challenges in using bamboo and its products for many applications that can contribute to a renewable society.

“…Its carbon reduction and storage capacity is much higher than that of typical trees, e.g., 1.46 times that of fir and 1.33 times that of tropical rainforests. Consequently, bamboo has been used as a green building material, advancing the development of green and sustainable building materials [5][6][7][8].…”

To alleviate the serious loss of gravel resources and improve the sustainability of concrete materials, this study innovatively proposes the development of a new type of bamboo aggregate from green and renewable Phyllostachys edulis (Moso) bamboo to replace traditional gravel aggregates. To realize the direct application of bamboo aggregates, this study proposes the use of epoxy mortar (EM) and polyurethane (PE) adhesives to modify the bamboo surface. Compared to unmodified and PE-modified bamboo, EM-modified bamboo showed significantly improved physical and mechanical properties. Durability tests revealed that the modified bamboo, especially EM-modified bamboo, was less affected by acidic and alkaline corrosion than the unmodified bamboo and the mass loss rate was almost zero. In the early stages of alkaline corrosion, the strength of the bamboo increased, and then began to decrease after 28 d. The removal of the outer green bamboo significantly improved the adhesion of the adhesive to the bamboo surface, as confirmed by pull-out tests. A sufficient bonding area between the EM-modified bamboo and the cement matrix remained after compression damage, whereas obvious debonding behavior between the cement matrix and unmodified and PE-modified bamboo was observed. In summary, EM modification significantly improved the comprehensive performance of bamboo aggregates. This study is expected to help improve the utilization rate of bamboo, promote bamboo concrete, reduce carbon emissions, and develop sustainable materials.

“…Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys pubescens) has great economic, social, and ecological potential as an alternative to plastic and traditional materials [ 1 , 2 , 3 ]. Since bamboo is renewable, biodegradable, and has the properties to meet the basic needs of the industrial sector [ 4 ], as one of the world’s most useful natural resources, its use is growing exponentially yearly [ 5 ].…”

The effect of humidity and heat environmental conditions on the durability of conventional bamboo materials is a pressing issue in the reserving phase of biomass materials. In this study, the relationship between the main physicochemical, pyrolytic, and mechanical properties of bamboo before and after ageing has been investigated. Exposure of engineered bamboo raw materials with moisture content up to 10% to alternating humidity and heat cycles (20 °C 98% RH-30 °C 64% RH-40 °C 30% RH) of ageing (HHT) causes degradation of the chemical polymer matrix. Byk Gardner 6840 color difference meter, X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), compression intensity, thermogravimetric-infrared spectroscopy (TG-IR), and density changes are used to assess the quality of the material before and after ageing. No significant changes in the moisture content within the range of 6.12 ± 0.327 after two weeks of the engineered bamboo during wet thermal cyclic ageing were determined. However, there were significant differences in mass loss (7.75–9.93 g), cellulose crystallinity, chemical changes, compression strength, and pyrolytic properties. Differences in specimen colors were observed during 10 weeks of the accelerated humidity heat cycling ageing, and TCD variations ranged from 3.75 to 20.08 and from 0.25 and 3.24, respectively. Reduced cellulose crystallinity (36.459–22.638%), axial compressive strength (63.07–88.09 MPa), and modulus of rupture (2409–4286 MPa) were found during aging, whereas deformation and ductility properties were improved. Both natural and humidity heat ageing improve thermal stability and peak pyrolysis rates (0.739–0.931; 0.731–0.797). Humidity heat cyclic ageing will assist in the design and risk assessment of warehousing environments for industrial applications.
