In the current study, bamboo fibers were modified with sodium meta-periodate in order to improve the mechanical and thermal properties of the bamboo-clay-polypropylene (PP) composites. Both raw and treated bamboo fibers were used in the manufacturing of the composites. The mechanical and thermal pro...
