RESUMO

RESUMO Os bambus são plantas que apresentam rápido crescimento, com excelentes propriedades físico-mecânicas, as quais derivam, principalmente, das características e dimensões de seu principal elemento estrutural: suas fibras. Objetivou-se realizar a descrição dimensional (comprimento, largura, diâmetro do lume e espessura da parede) e caracterizar os índices e coeficientes técnicos das fibras de espécies de bambu que ocorrem no Brasil, por meio de levantamento bibliográfico. Os resultados mostraram que a densidade básica em corpos de prova de hastes das espécies levantadas variou entre 0,451 g cm-3 e 0,780 g cm-3, evidenciando grande variabilidade entre elas. Os valores médios observados para as dimensões das fibras foram 2,29 mm de comprimento, 16,4 µm para largura total, 6,4 µm de espessura da parede e 3,5 µm para o diâmetro do lume. A partir destes dados, foram estabelecidos índices e coeficientes técnicos que sustentam boas propriedades físico-mecânicas do bambu nas várias espécies estudadas.ABSTRACT Bamboos are fast-growing plants, with outstanding physical-mechanical characteristics that may be chiefly ascribed to the features and dimensions of their main structural element: their fibers. This study aimed to perform a dimensional description (length, width, lumen diameter and wall thickness) and depict the indices and technical coefficients of fibers of bamboo species that occur in Brazil, through a bibliographical survey. The results showed that the basic density in test stem-specimens of the surveyed species varied between 0.451 g cm-3 and 0.780 g cm-3, what revealed a great variability among them. The average values observed for the fiber dimensions were 2.29 mm for length, 16.4 µm for total width, 6.4 µm for wall thickness and 3.5 µm for lumen diameter. From these data, it was possible to estimate indices and technical coefficients that support good physical-mechanical characteristics of bamboo in the several studied species.
