Full Text SHEET COMPOSITION USING BAMBOO
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a sheet composition using bamboo, and more particularly, to a sheet composition using bamboo exhibiting superior properties in tensile strength, bending strength, bending elasticity, and heat resistance, in which bamboo is pulverized and blended with thermoplastic resin such as polypropylene (P.P) in a predetermined ratio so that a sheet that is a finished product is environment-friendly, recyclable, and made compact.
Background Art
In a conventional method, a sheet is manufactured by pulverizing a wood material that is a natural textile and blending the pulverized wood portion with resin such as polypropylene. Since wood needing tens of years to grow to be a matured wood is used, there is a problem such as the destruction of environment and a limit in the supply of a material. Since the strength of the wood itself is weak, the properties such as tensile strength and bending strength is deteriorated during the manufacture of a sheet that is a finished product. In particular, since the thickness of the sheet needs to be manufactured thick to satisfy the property of a product such as car interior parts which need strength, the product is heavy. Thus, when the product is used as the car interior sheet, gas mileage is lowered, workability is deteriorated, and the production costs increase.

Technical Problem
To solve the above and/or other problems, the present invention provides a sheet composition using bamboo exhibiting superior properties in tensile strength, bending strength, bending elasticity, and heat deformation temperature, which is environment- friendly and recyclable and simultaneously made compact compared to a conventional sheet manufactured by blending wood powder made by pulverizing wood with synthetic resin.
