However, global demand for lumber exceeds supply, which is driving interest in alternative materials such as engineered bamboo products. The performance of engineered bamboo is highly dependent on the strength of the adhesive used. As the industry shifts toward environmentally friendly adhesives, polyvinyl acetate (PVAc) has emerged as a candidate for bamboo adhesives. However, PVAc is known to a have lower strength than formaldehyde-based adhesives. To address this, we explored the enhancement of PVAc adhesion by pretreating the bamboo surface with a custom-built atmospheric pressure plasma jet. A significant increase in shear strength of up to 55 % was realized when the bamboo surface was treated with plasma. We attributed this to an increase in the surface free energy of bamboo, particularly the polar component. The treatment enhanced the affinity for PVAc, enabling stronger adhesion strength. The fast and relatively inexpensive atmospheric pressure plasma treatment technique offers a promising solution to improve the performance of engineered bamboo and to advance the development of more sustainable construction materials.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100040,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Bamboo Science","volume":"13 ","pages":"Article 100200"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145010828","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The test specimens consisted of 6 bamboo-reinforced concrete columns with a reinforcement area ratio (ρ_b) of 6 %. Among these specimens, three columns were strengthened with 6 mm steel (B6) and another with 8 mm steel (B8). The control specimens were bamboo-reinforced concrete columns without strengthening (CB) and steel-reinforced concrete columns (CS), with a reinforcement area ratio of 6 % and 1.4 %, respectively. Each column was tested and subjected to cyclic lateral loads according to ACI 375.1–19 and ASTM 2126–19 with a constant axial load of 54.85 kN. B6 and B8 had greater lateral load capacity, stiffness, ductility and drift ratio than CB and CS. B6 and B8 achieved an energy dissipation ratio greater than CB and almost the same as column CS. These results suggest that the connection points of bamboo-reinforced concrete column-foundation or beam-column connections should be reinforced to improve seismic performance. The application of bamboo-reinforced concrete portal structures in simple rural houses will require strengthening at the connection points to ensure livable and technically safe houses.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100040,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Bamboo Science","volume":"13 ","pages":"Article 100198"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145010829","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Within this context, bamboo occupies a prominent position in Asian cultures, both economically and medicinally, having been historically employed to address a range of health issues and demonstrating therapeutic potential against numerous ailments. We undertook a comprehensive analysis of bamboo’s immunomodulatory effects that highlighted significant bioactive components in leaves, shoots, shavings, culms and hemicellulose extracts. These elements enhance immune responses by regulating cytokine levels and cellular defense mechanisms. Notably, bamboo extracts increase TNF-α, IFN-γ, IL-8, and IL-12 levels, showcasing potential applications in immunotherapy and preventive medicine. Beyond immune modulation, bamboo demonstrates anti-inflammatory properties, making it effective in managing conditions such as skin disorders, obesity, and autoimmune diseases. Additionally, bamboo extracts-especially from shoots, leaves, and polysaccharides-exhibit prebiotic activity. They promote the growth of beneficial gut bacteria, including <em>Firmicutes</em>, <em>Bacteroidetes</em>, <em>Proteobacteria</em> and <em>Verrucomicrobia</em>, thereby improving gut health and influencing immune function. The therapeutic benefits of bamboo are due to its diverse phytochemicals, such as polysaccharides, polyphenols (orientin, vitexin, ferulic acid) and phytosterols (stigmasterol, β- sitosterol). These compounds activate host defense mechanisms, regulate immune cells, suppress inflammatory pathways, and influence gene expression suggesting their significant potential in pharmacognosy, particularly for synthesizing nanoparticles in drug delivery and therapeutic applications. Bamboo stands out as a sustainable and versatile natural resource with significant potential in modern medicine.

The exploration of the ZIP gene family's identification, expression patterns and possible biological roles in Moso bamboo has been limited. In our research, we discovered 17 ZIP genes present in the genome of Moso bamboo. The phylogenetic analysis indicated that these ZIPs can be divided into four distinct clades. We performed an in-depth examination of conserved motifs, gene structures, chromosomal locations, <em>cis</em>-regulatory elements, synteny and the characteristics and functions of gene expression within this family. Analysis of STEM time expressions derived from transcriptomic data indicated that ZIP could play a role in the swift growth and development of Moso bamboo shoots. In addition, an analysis of three-dimensional protein modeling uncovered the structural features of Moso bamboo ZIP, identifying it as a transmembrane protein that facilitates zinc ion transport. Additionally, we predicted protein interactions, analyzed transcription factors regulating ZIP, and constructed a core regulatory network associated with ZIP. Subcellular localization studies in transgenic tobacco indicated that ZIP is localized to the cell membrane.

These materials, recognized for their high strength-to-weight ratios, low biodegradability and renewability, offer a green alternative in civil engineering. However, selecting the optimal composite entails managing multiple conflicting criteria and expert uncertainty. We propose a novel hybrid decision-making framework integrating Interval-Valued Intuitionistic Fuzzy Sets (IVIF), Modified Digital Logic (MDL), and the Measurement of Alternatives and Ranking according to the Compromise Solution (MARCOS) method to assess and rank bamboo composites. The framework combines crisp technical indicators fuzzy sustainability assessments systematically. A case study involving 12 bamboo composite alternatives (B1–B12) was conducted, where expert skill weighting and linguistic evaluations were converted into IVIF numbers and defuzzified. The alternatives differed in their composition and performance characteristics. Some (B6, B11) exhibited higher compressive and flexural strengths with lower water absorption, while others (B9, B7) showed higher water uptake or lower biodegradability, reflecting trade-offs between mechanical efficiency and sustainability. The analysis identified B11 as the top-performing composite, offering the best compromise between mechanical performance (21.5 MPa compressive strength, 30.8 MPa flexural strength) and environmental merit (renewability and biodegradability &gt; 0.90). Sensitivity and comparative validations against Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) and VIseKriterijumska Optimizacija I Kompromisno Resenje (VIKOR) confirmed the robustness and stability of the model.

The composites were made using a double layer feeding stir casting method, with reinforcements added at 2 and 4 wt% concentrations and hybrid concentrations after carbonisation. The BLPs were characterized using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and scanning electron microscope/energy dispersive x-ray (SEM/EDX). The corrosion study of Al-7Mg-3Si-1.5Ni/Al₂O₃/ZrO₂/BLA biocomposites was conducted in a 1 M HCl solution, and the effects of solution temperature and immersion time were investigated using weight loss measurements at 303 K and immersion times of 1, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 h.

The mechanical properties of the biocomposites showed improvements in ultimate tensile strength, hardness, impact and wear resistance, with a maximum tensile strength of 235.17 MPa, hardness of 110.6 BHN, impact of 62.3 J, and a lower wear rate of 2.82 × 10⁻⁴ mm³/mm (64.08 % decrease).
