The native pore structure and characteristic are the basis for studying the permeability, pretreatment and further processing of bamboo. Herein, the porosity, surface area, pore volume and pore size distribution of moso bamboo and their radial variabilities were investigated by a combination of mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP), nitrogen adsorption and scanning electron microscopic image analysis. Bamboo has a wide porosity range (48 ~ 70%) that exhibits a quadratic polynomial relation to the radial position, and parenchyma tissue shows highe...
