Bamboo macromolecules were pretreated with bamboo vinegar, which has an antibacterial property, and processed into antibacterial bioboard (ABB) by hot pressing. The ABB was then analyzed by conducting Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis and differential thermal analysis. Results showed that ABB samples had average density of 1.0 g/cm(3), which is appropriate for application. The physical and mechanical properties were best for the ABB sample pretreated with bamboo vinegar and hot pressed at 165 degrees C for 10 min. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy reveal...
