BAMBOO FIBRE ANALYSIS BY SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPE STUDY

A fibre is a small discrete reinforcing material produced from various materials like steel, plastic, glass, carbon and natural materials in various shapes and sizes. Fibre (fiber) analysis laboratory testing is used for identification, quality inspection, determining contamination and is deployed from macro to nano scale Bamboo fibers are focused as one of substitution for natural plant fibers having many Advantages such as low cost, low density, ecologically friendly, sustainability and biodegradability. Present study is made to understand the structure behavior of bamboo fibers by SEM analysis. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analyses the surfaces of materials, particles and fibres so that fine details can be measured and assessed via image analysis. SEM provides a means for industry to resolve contamination issues, investigate component failure, identify unknown particulates or study the interaction between substances and their substrates. It can also provide a wealth of information to support research of materials, chemicals or biological samples.
