Abstract: Bamboo fibres are gaining more and more attention on the world market. Producers claim that their products are made from natural, ecological material of many exceptional properties characteristic for natural bamboo fibres. There are many obscurities involving bamboo fibres, which lead potential clients to misunderstandings. In the world a campaign is underway to reveal the truth behind these questionable fi bres. In this paper, the authors try to prove, by scientific means, that so-called bamboo fibres are in reality man-made viscose fibres made from bamboo cellulose.
