Hygrothermal reconfiguration of radial chemo-mechanical gradients in arc-shaped natural fiber-reinforced bamboo composite for flattening and panel manufacturing

It remains unclear whether hygrothermal softening controls the deformation of bamboo as a natural fiber-reinforced composite by reshaping its radial physicochemical structures and mechanical-gradient heterogeneity. Here, hygrothermally softened arc-shaped bamboo strips were inves...
