Title:

Isolation and characterization of bamboo fibres

Authors:Gulrajani, M.L; Anjali Arora

Abstract:Bamboo fibres were isolated from three Indian species of bamboo and their physical characteristics, dyeability with different reactive dyes and antimicrobial activity were evaluated. On dyeing the fibres with selected reactive dyes, excellent dye exhaustion and fixation above 90 per cent was obtained. Bleached bamboo fibres showed antimicrobial activity of over 90 per cent.

Keywords:antimicrobial properties; bamboos; characterization; dyes; extracts; fibres; fixation; isolation.
