The transformation of bamboo into viscose rayon fabric involves an intense chemical process known as the viscose process. This process begins by extracting cellulose from bamboo through a combination of chemical treatments. 1. The bamboo is first broken down into pulp, and then it undergoes a process called hydrolysis, where it is treated with a strong alkaline solution, usually sodium hydroxide, to dissolve the cellulose. This results in a viscose solution. 2. Next, the viscose solution is aged
