Paper

http://www.paper-source.com/
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paper
http://www.paper.com/

All of this site not suitable in making report. Because it's can't be trusted in their source. However, the information from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paper website is the most that can be trust compare the other two.

To. Miss Hafsa and Sazwanie.
In the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paper website, there is no one that say paper made from Bamboo. There is only Pulpwood and Papyrus wood that use as a basement in making paper.

first of all, i would like to make some correction of ur spelling..Syazwani not sazwani ar..
Then u must accept this statement..

"PAPER ARE MADE FROM BAMBOO"..

actually bamboo are also useful in paper making especially in China because of it's high qualities of cellulose fiber.I had read this article in one megazine and its also hard to me to believe it!!! then i used to believe it because it's a new knowledge for me..am i right miss hafsa??? ehee..

yes, i do agree with syazawani. initially, it is made of bamboo started in china.paper is produced by the amalgamation of fibers. The most common source of these kinds of fibers is wood pulp from pulpwood trees. Vegetable fiber materials such as cotton, hemp, linen, and rice are also used.

Try to find out some information about:

1) Early papermaking in China
2)Papermaking arrives in the Middle East
3) European papermaking
4) Nineteenth Century advances in papermaking and also on chemical pulping.


thank you for my good observant learner.

Making bamboo paper

I've made paper one time. It was fun and I've been wanting to do so again but it's very time consuming. This is just to let you know before you get started! There are a huge number of raw materials you can use for making paper and the easiest is to re-cycle old paper. Using scrap paper to make new paper will save you a substantial amount of time. However, this article is about making paper from bamboo!

Paper has been made from bamboo for hundreds of years. The commercial process uses actual bamboo canes for pulp. You can too but it is very difficult as the bamboo fibers are very tough and need a lot of processing, including a long fermentation period. An easier way to make paper from bamboo is to use the sheaths from new bamboo culms.(canes) These are the outer coverings on new bamboo canes that drop to the ground (in most cases) as the canes mature. They have a texture that is very similar to dry corn husk. When I first began to investigate making paper I was discouraged to find how difficult it would be to process actual bamboo. I then got the idea of using the sheaths.

If you are still determined to make bamboo paper the first thing you will need are some basic tools. Two specialized tools that you can make (or buy at many art supply stores) are a mold and deckle. The mold is basically a frame (much like a picture frame) with fiberglass window screening attached. The deckle is another frame the same size but without the screen. I made mine from strips of wood, about one half inch by three quarter inch. You can also use an actual picture frame.
