A bamboo scrimber comprising: a plurality of pressure-pressed bamboo strips impregnated with an adhesive and modified through heat-treatment so that at least a part of hemicelluloses in said bamboo strips is pyrolysized, wherein each of said bamboo strips is formed with a plurality of slots penetrating through said bamboo strip substantially in a direction of thickness defined by said bamboo strip and a substantially longitudinal direction defined by said slots is substantially consistent with a substantially longitudinal direction defined by fibers of said bamboo strip. view more

A bamboo scrimber as set forth in claim 1, wherein said bamboo strips are in a state of disorder in a cross-section defined by said bamboo scrimber and arranged substantially parallel with said longitudinal direction of said fibers.

A bamboo scrimber as set forth in claim 1, wherein each of said bamboo strips defines a thickness of said bamboo strip in a range of about 1.0 mm to about 4.5 mm.

A bamboo scrimber as set forth in claim 1, wherein said adhesive is a water-soluble resin.

A bamboo scrimber as set forth in claim 5, wherein said water-soluble resin is one selected from a group consisting of phenolic resin, resorcinol-modified phenolic resin, and melamine-modified phenolic resin.

A bamboo scrimber as set forth in claim 1, wherein said pressure-pressed bamboo strips are either of cold-pressed and hot-pressed.

A method of manufacturing a bamboo scrimber comprising steps of: preparing bamboo strips from bamboo; forming a plurality of slots in each of the prepared bamboo strips penetrating through the bamboo strip substantially in a direction of thickness defined by the bamboo strip and a substantially longitudinal direction defined by the slots is substantially consistent with a substantially longitudinal direction defined by fibers of the bamboo strip; modifying the formed bamboo strips through heat-treatment so that at least a part of hemicelluloses in said bamboo strips is pyrolysized; impregnating the modified bamboo strips into an adhesive; drying the impregnated bamboo strips; and pressure-pressing the dried bamboo strips in a mold until the adhesive is cured so as to form the bamboo scrimber. view more

A method of manufacturing a bamboo scrimber as set forth in claim 8, wherein the bamboo strips are arranged in a state of disorder in a cross-section defined by the mold and substantially parallel with the longitudinal direction of the fibers in the mold. view more

A method of manufacturing a bamboo scrimber as set forth in claim 8, wherein the step of pressure-pressing includes the step of either of cold-pressing and then drying and hot-pressing.

A method of manufacturing a bamboo scrimber as set forth in claim 8, wherein the heat-treatment includes steps of heating the bamboo strips to absolute dryness and cooling the pyrolysized bamboo strips.

A method of manufacturing a bamboo scrimber as set forth in claim 13, wherein the step of heating is performed at a temperature in a range of about 100° C. to about 130° C., the step of pyrolysing is performed at a temperature in a range of about 150° C. to about 220° C., and the pyrolysized bamboo-strips scrimber are cooled to a temperature lower than about 90° C. view more
