摘要
A new technique has been developed for flattening circular natural bamboo culm to plate form for remarkably enhancing its mechanical properties, The enhanced bamboo, cheaper than Al, is then used to reinforce an aluminum alloy for civilian applications. The properties of the composite are greatly enhanced compared to those of the Al alloy. The Al protects bamboo from bioerosion and improves hygroscopicity
