【 摘 要 】

Cultivated Bambusa vulgaris culms of 4-year-old were used in this study. The culms were harvestedfrom FRIM’s bamboo research plot located in Selangor, Malaysia. Bamboo samples consisting of internodes 6,7 and 8 were cross-cut and taken to FRIM laboratory for the heat treatment process, testing and analysis. Astainless tank measuring 0.6 x 0.6 x 1.2 m was used as the heating pot and an organic in nature palm oil wasused as the medium of heat transfer. This process used temperature and the duration of immersion as their 2main parameters. The temperature of 140ºC, 180ºC and 220ºC, and the immersion periods of 30, 60 and 90min. were applied to the bamboo. The physical and strength properties of the heat treated bamboo wereassessed and evaluated. The results of the treatment show that the process enhanced on the physicalproperties of the bamboo. The process however lowered the strength of the bamboo.
