Othman S., . and Mohd Fahmi A. Sains Malaysia Univ., . and Rokiah H., . (2009) Effects of relative humidity on hygroscopicity sorption dimensional stability and strength of Semantan bamboo. [Proceedings Paper]
Abstract
The effect of relative humidity on hygroscopicity sorption dimensional stability and compression strength of semantan bamboo Gigantochloa scortechinil was investigated. The moisture content increased as the relative humidity increased. The sorption was found to be higher compared to rubberwood. There was an effect on shrinkage and swelling as the relative humidity fluctuated. The fibre saturation point FSP for the bamboo was estimated to be 24-27 and for rubberwood 23-26. The compression strength decreased as the relative humidity increased.
