Wikipedia articles incorporating a citation from the 1911 Encyclopaedia Britannica with Wikisource reference The shoots of most species are edible either raw or cooked, with the tough sheath removed. Cooking removes the slight bitterness. [69] The shoots are used in numerous Asian dishes and broths, and are available in supermarkets in various sliced forms, in both fresh and canned versions.

For a more in depth understanding of the chemical processes, we suggest researching how epoxy resins are made, Wikipedia is a good place to start.

The earliest surviving examples of such documents, written in ink on string-bound bundles of bamboo strips (or "slips"), date from the fifth century BC during the Warring States period. References in earlier texts surviving on other media indicate some precursor of these Warring States period bamboo slips was used as early as the late Shang period (from about 1250 BC).

Many ethnic groups in remote areas that have water access in Asia use bamboo that is 3–5 years old to make rafts. They use 8 to 12 poles, 6–7m (20–23ft) long, laid together side by side to a width of about 1m (3ft). Once the poles are lined up together, they cut a hole crosswise through the poles at each end and use a small bamboo pole pushed through that hole like a screw to hold all the long bamboo poles together. Floating houses use whole bamboo stalks tied together in a big bunch to support the house floating in the water. M. A. Huberman (1959). "Bamboo silviculture". Unasylva. 13 (1).

Many tropical bamboo species die at or near freezing temperatures, while some of the hardier temperate bamboos survive temperatures as low as −29°C (−20°F). Some of the hardiest bamboo species are grown in USDA plant hardiness zone 5, [ citation needed] although they typically defoliate and may even lose all above-ground growth, yet the rhizomes survive and send up shoots again the next spring. In milder climates, such as USDA zone 7 and above, most bamboo remain fully leafed out and green year-round.

This material was quite revolutionary at the time. Bakelite’s low heat conductivity and strength, resulted in it being used for kitchenware products, as well as many other applications.

Water is pumped through the freshly cut culms, forcing out the sap (this method is often used in conjunction with the injection of some form of treatment).It was demonstrated that the manufacturing process had a dramatic impact on the mechanical properties. Despite the mechanical properties of strips containing nodes being decreased by approximately 30% relative to those of node-free strips, the optimizations introduced in the manufacturing process compensate for the presence of nodes in the overall properties, while assuring low standard deviations and high average tensile mechanical properties.
