Abstract
The objective of this study was to investigate the influence of acid dye on color change, modulus of rupture, modulus of elasticity, shear strength (parallel loading), thickness swelling rate, and water absorption rate of bamboo-based fiber composites from Phyllostachys pubescens. Bamboo fiber veneers were treated with acid black via three procedures: dyed in water at 20 °C, dyed in water at 90 °C, and dyed in ethanol at 75 °C. The samples dyed in ethanol at 75 °C and those dyed in water at 90 °C had a higher exhaustion rate than those dyed in water at 20 °C. The color change of bamboo fiber veneers exhibited similar variation trends by the three methods. The dyeing procedure slightly reduced the modulus of rupture and modulus of elasticity of bamboo-based fiber composites. Compared with the samples dyed in water, the samples dyed in ethanol had reduced shear strength (parallel loading) and modulus of elasticity. The thickness swelling rate and water absorption rate of bamboo-based fiber composite samples were reduced by the dye treatment.
