Abstract
This research reveals the environmentally friendly role of bamboo micro-particles, their morphological and size characteristics. Research shows that bamboo that has been 300 mesh and high energy milling (HEM) produces micro cracks on the bamboo surface. Micro cracks cause the breaking of covalent bonds in cellulose. The breaking of bonds is caused by photon energy entering the atom. The electrons in the atom cause it to be excited. The contents of bamboo include carbon, oxygen, hydrogen and potassium. Apart from that, phenol, alkane, alkene and aromatic ring functional groups are contained in bamboo.
