Extractive free samples were rst prepared using ethanol– benzene. This was followed with the chemical analysis of the rattan cell wall using standard procedures used in wood. Results revealed that the cell wall is 42– 53% alpha-cellulose, 19– 27% hemicellulose and 20– 40% lignin. The creep compliance test showed the softening behaviour of the samples due to the application of heat. Softening occurred from 70– 85 ± C for extractive-free, 75– 95 ± C for holocellulose and 100
