[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, from the analysis of the structural diagrams of the straws treated with hydrogen peroxide under a microscope in different embodiments and comparative examples, it can be seen that the hydrogen peroxide pretreatment produces more holes on the surface of the straws, and the hydrogen peroxide treatment obviously destroys the structure of the straws. Moreover, as the concentration of hydrogen peroxide increases, the degree of damage to the structure of the straws also increases.
