Abstract: Micro-particles have sizes ranging from 1 to 1000 μm. This research reveals the role of environmentally friendly bamboo micro-particles as biomaterials with engineered material characteristics. The study indicates that bamboo, when meshed to 300 and processed with a blender machine, results in micro-cracks on the bamboo surface. SEM morphology testing, bamboo under one year old and over one year old exhibits micro-particle shapes such as imperfect circles, elongated forms, and clumps. The micro-cracks lead to the breakage of covalent bonds in cellulose. The breakage of bonds is caused by photon energy entering the atom. The electrons within the atom become excited. Bamboo composition includes carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, and potassium. Additionally, functional groups such as phenol, alkane, alkene, and aromatic rings are also present in bamboo.
