Abstract
The primary thermogram of the bamboo fibers belonging to the species Dendrocalamus strictus is recorded in an inert atmosphere at a heating rate of 10 C/min. Using this thermogram and its derivative, initial and final degradation temperatures and inflection points are found. Using the Freeman and Carroll method, the kinetic parameters of thermal degradation - activation energy and the order of the reaction are determined. As these values are different in the temperature range of 25-400 C and 400-700 C, the thermal degradation of these fibers is found to be a two-stage process.Keywords
