From a bonding interface structure perspective, the influence mechanism of the resin content and density on the water resistance of BSCs remains unknown. Therefore, in this study, BSCs were prepared using Moso bamboo and phenol-formaldehyde resin, and the changes in the macroscopic and microscopic bonding interfaces before and after 28-h water-resistance tests were observed and analyzed. The results showed that the water resistance of the BSC increased with increasing resin content, with higher thickness swelling rates (TSRs) observed at higher densities. Obvious cracks were found at the macroscopic interface after 28-h tests, with higher resin contents leading to fewer and smaller cracks. With increasing density, the longitudinal fissures due to defibering process decreased, having an effect on width swelling rates (WSRs). Furthermore, porosity measurements revealed changes in the microscopic bonding interface; the difference in porosity before and after testing (D-value) showed the same trend as water resistance. Generally, we conclude that the macroscopic and microscopic bonding interface structures are closely related to BSC water resistance.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/polym14091856","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,2]],"date-time":"2022-05-02T07:08:58Z","timestamp":1651475338000},"page":"1856","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Influence of Resin Content and Density on Water Resistance of Bamboo Scrimber Composite from a Bonding Interface Structure Perspective"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Yaohui","family":"Ji","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Institute of Wood Industry, Chinese Academy of Forestry, Beijing 100091, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wencheng","family":"Lei","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Institute of Wood Industry, Chinese Academy of Forestry, Beijing 100091, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4581-2443","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yuxiang","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Institute of Wood Industry, Chinese Academy of Forestry, Beijing 100091, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jiangyuan","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Institute of Wood Industry, Chinese Academy of Forestry, Beijing 100091, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wenji","family":"Yu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Institute of Wood Industry, Chinese Academy of Forestry, Beijing 100091, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1431","DOI":"10.1021\/acsami.0c18239","article-title":"High-Performance Bamboo Steel Derived from Natural Bamboo","volume":"13","author":"Wang","year":"2021","journal-title":"ACS Appl.
