Comparative Study on the Surface Properties of Mirrored Green Skin of Bamboo and Pterocarpus Santalinus
In order to explore new bamboo processing technology and produce bamboo products with high added value and excellent performance,the first layer of bamboo green skin,namely mirrored green skin of bamboo,was obtained af-ter peeling and grinding the moso bamboo,which has the advantages of dense,smooth and wear-resistant in the first lay-er of green skin.The surface properties were compared with Pterocarpus santalinus after grinding with grit-2000 sandpa-per,and the five physical properties of the material surface were tested respectively.The surface properties of the pol-ished mirrored green skin of bamboo were better than Pterocarpus santalinus in glossiness,roughness and stain resis-tance,and the surface properties were similar to Pterocarpus santalinus in hardness and wettability.Through the compari-son of material properties,it was shown that the innovative treatment technology of bamboo has improved the perfor-mance of bamboo as furniture and decoration material,which will have great potential in the future production and use of bamboo furniture.
