Abstract Bamboo scrimber, a bio-material which is made of bamboo, has been considered as a substitute material in place of wood in China under the situation of increasing contradiction between supply and demand of wood resources. In the last decades, the fabrication technology of bamboo scrimber has been improved, which promotes the applications of this material. Especially in China where the bamboo scrimber was developed originally, blowout-like growth has emerged in related research in the recent 3–5 years. It is urgent to summarize the relevant research and present it to more people who are concerned with the aspects of bamboo scrimber as a bio-material. This paper presents a comprehensive introduction to bamboo scrimber including fabrication, properties, heat treatment, anti-mildew and anti-fungi, surface coating, machining, applications, etc. based on a review of literature from Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) and Web of Science. This work not only establishes fabrication parameters, surface proof technologies and application samples for the industry practice but also summarizes detailed inspection standards, mechanical and thermal properties regarding bamboo scrimber for the reference of scientific research.
1 Introduction In line with increasing populations and global demands for the generation of green energy, wood supplies throughout the world may be under severe pressures in the coming decades. A large decrease in quality logs from natural forests has caused constraints to wood-based industries globally (Bakar et al. 2019). Bamboo is one of the fastest renewable plants with a maturity cycle of 3–4 years (Han et al. 2008), it grows rapidly, up to several centimeters per day, and has excellent mechanical properties (Okubo et al. 2009; Huang and Young 2019). As a kind of biological material with numerous advantages including sustainability and biodegradability (Shao et al. 2010; Huang et al. 2019c), appropriate processing with physical, chemical, and mechanical treatments, bamboo culms can be commonly used as material for making agricultural appliances, furniture, paper, * Jipeng Chen [email protected] 1

natural fiber, activated carbon, and granulated fuel (Chung and Wang 2017). In recent years, bamboo has gained greater interest as a substitute material in place of wood (Malanit et al. 2011) to deal with the shortage of timber resources. Bamboo is grown in virtually all the continents in the world such as Africa, Asia-Pacific, America, North America, and Europe (Canavan et
