A sugarcane stalk is made up of shorter segments and joints.Each joint consists of two distinctive parts: (1) node and (2)internode (Elsunni, 1993). The cross-section of the internode iscomposed of a rind (outer layer) and pith (inner layer). The major-ity of sucrose along with bundles of small fibers is found in thepith (Paturau, 1969). The rind contains numerous longer and finerfiber bundles composed of elemental fibers in discrete elongatedunits embedded in a matrix of lignin and hemicellulose (Creightonet al., 1969). These elemental fibers are bound together by amor-phous matrix of lignin and hemicellulose to form a fiber bundle(Bledzki and Gassan, 1999). The most valuable fiber bundles suit-able for industrial applications are found in the rind region. Certainamount of lignin and hemicellulose can be removed through chemi-cal treatments of the fiber bundles. These treatments result in fiberbundles of small diameters compared to those of untreated ones(Collier et al., 1992). A high cellulose content and low micro-fibrilangle result in desirable properties in the bast fibers. Hereafter, theword fiber will be used in most of this paper to avoid repeating theword fiber bundle.
