Plasma treatment was effective at converting green bamboo surfaces from hydrophobic (initial contact angle >110°) to hydrophilic (contact angle <20°). Plasma was able to etch bamboo green surfaces, and make them rougher and more powdery. Confocal profilometry and SEM revealed that the morphology of green bamboo surfaces varied between 3 different stems. The effects of plasma treatment on green bamboo stems were examined using contact goniometry (wettability), non-contact confocal profilometry and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). This study focused on using glow-discharge plasma to treat green bamboo surfaces to make them less hydrophobic. Hence, the recovery and utilization ratio of bamboo during processing is low.

Some pieces may have knots and whorls that will add character to your bespoke coffee table.The inner and outer surfaces of bamboo stems are usually removed prior to the manufacture of bamboo panels because the surfaces are hydrophobic and difficult to bond with glue.
