Abstract

Dynamic properties of bamboo, Phyllostachys pubescens, with moisture content (MC) ranging from 130 to 130?C, were studied by dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). The results showed that the hygrothermal effect on dynamic mechanical properties was negative. The storage modulus decreases with increasing temperature and MC, and glass transition temperature decreases with increasing MC. The glass transition temperature and tan delta of bamboo were 30.5?C, 0.02 and 10.61?C, 0.04, when MC was 10% and 34%, respectively.
