Study on Surface Wettability of Bamboo by Measurement of Contact Angle

The main objective of this research is to evaluate the wettability of the processed bamboo surfaces. The important surface energy and acid-base properties for processed bamboo have been estimated by using contact angle techniques. According to the results, the change of ages has a positive relation with the contact angles of water on processed bamboo. The contact angles were increased after the bamboo surface treated in high temperature condition and preservation. The different treat methods have a strong influence on acid-base energy component insurface of bamboo. Compared with pinewood, the surface of bamboo seems to be stronger in the acid-base energycontribution.
