Mechanical and physical characterization of composite bamboo-Guadua products: Plastiguadua (2014)
Presentation / Conference
Archila, H., Takeuchi, C. P., & Trujillo, D. (2014, August). Mechanical and physical characterization of composite bamboo-Guadua products: Plastiguadua. Paper presented at WCTE 2014 - World Conference on Timber Engineering, Proceedings 2014, Quebec City, Canada

The bamboo species Guadua angustifolia Kunth (Guadua) was subjected to different fibre extraction processes, chemically treated and used in combination with a set range of polymers to form various composite materials. Novel technologies and artisan... Read More about Mechanical and physical characterization of composite bamboo-Guadua products: Plastiguadua.

Elastic properties of thermo-hydro-mechanically modified bamboo (Guadua angustifolia Kunth) measured in tension. (2014)
Journal Article
Walker, P., Archila, H., & Ansell, M. P. (2014). Elastic properties of thermo-hydro-mechanically modified bamboo (Guadua angustifolia Kunth) measured in tension. Key Engineering Materials, 600, 111-120. https://doi.org/10.4028/www.scientific.net/KEM.600.111

Guadua angustifolia Kunth (Guadua) was subjected to thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM) treatments that modified its microstructure and mechanical properties. THM treatment was applied to Guadua with the aim of tackling the difficulties in the fabrication...
