dc.description.abstract | This article analyzes the current known information and data on the bamboo plant natural properties: UV protection properties, natural resistance to pests and fungal infestations due to an antimicrobial agent known as ‘bamboo kun’. Bamboo has a bacterial rate of up to 99.8%. The bamboo fibers air permeability is 20% higher than that of cotton, and the absorption capacity is 60% higher. After processing, the bamboo fiber contains no harmful chemicals (as specified in the Okeo-Tex Standard 100 - global testing and accreditation system for harmful substances screening in consumer fabrics). The Fabrics Verification Association of Japan confirms that even after 50 industrial washes the bamboo fiber samples keep their properties. Tests conducted by this association show that about 70% of the bacteria with which the bamboo fiber sample was infested were destroyed. Other studies on bamboo fiber confirm very good antimicrobial properties being followed by the combined fabric 50/50% bamboo / cotton, cotton and viscose. Currently bamboo fibers are used in the manufacture of underwear, socks, bed linen, towels, and bathrobes. The information got as a result of the present study allows to realize the research hypothesis, a step that will be preceded by the own experimental research carrying out in order to determine new directions of bamboo fibers use in the medical field. | en_US |
