Property characterization of Chusquea culeou, a bamboo growing in Chile
Property characterization of Chusquea culeou Desv. (colihue), a bamboo growing in Chile, was conducted. Physical, chemical and mechanical properties were determined as a function of plant diameter, position in culm length and nodal or internodal sections. The results show that fibre length increased...
