In this paper, a new green fiber-reinforced cementitious composite containing high volume fly ash and hybrid steel and bagasse fibers is developed. Eco-friendly bagasse fibers from industrial waste and steel fibers are used to improve the mechanical behavior of the new composite, and high-volume fly ash is used to decrease the usage of cement in order to be more environmentally friendly. The influence of the fiber content and fly ash/cement ratio on the mechanical properties of the composite is investigated through the study of the mechanical properties of the new composite, such as compressive strength, modulus of elasticity, and modulus of rupture. It is found that compressive strength, Young's modulus of the composite, decreases with the increase of the fly ash/cement ratio and bagasse fiber content. However, the modulus of rupture of the composite increases firstly with bagasse fiber content, and decreases when bagasse fiber content reaches 3% by volume.

Sugarcane bagasse fiber reinforced polypropylene (PP) based composites were prepared by compression molding. The fiber content was 40% by weight. Tensile strength (TS), tensile modulus (TM) and elongation break (Eb%) of the composites were found to be 51MPa, 1414 MPa and 14% respectively. The TS, TM and Eb% of the PP sheet were 25 MPa, 456 MPa and 76% respectively. Due to fiber reinforcement, an increase of 102% TS and 210% TM, was noticed. Water uptake test was carried out by immersing the composite sample in deionized water and it was noticed that water uptake was lower for sugarcane bagasse fiber reinforced PP composite. Transform Infrared Spectroscopy was employed for functional groups analysis of the fabricated composite.

Thermal and mechanical properties of neat linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) hybrid biocomposite with sugarcane bagasse and eggshell as a reinforcing filler were investigated. Hybrid biocomposites with sugarcane bagasse/eggshell was varied in the range of 6/4, 12/8, 17/13, 20/20, 13/17, 8/12, and 4/6 wt.%, were prepared and examined. The sugarcane bagasse fiber (Sb) was surface-treated using a silane coupling agent (3-(trimethoxysilyl) propyl methacrylate) and eggshell (Es) was treated using titanium (IV) isopropoxide. The results showed that high calcium oxide content was 99 % by weight in eggshell and silicon dioxide content was 50 % by weight in sugarcane bagasse. The tensile and flexural modulus and hardness of the composites with treated Sb/Es were higher than that of the untreated. These values of the LLDPE/Sb/Es composites increased with Sb/Es content. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) results show interesting trends in term of the influence of Sb/Es content, both with untreated and treated Sb/Es on the crystallization behavior of the composites but the melting and cold crystallization temperature of its composites did not obviously change. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) indicated their thermal stability of the composites, both untreated and surface-treated Sb/Es were lower than that of neat LLDPE. The sample molded from the biocomposite with surface-treated Sb/Es particles showed better dispersion of the materials inside.

This examination conveys a bibliographic audit for impending reference inside the far reaching field of bagasse composites by attempting to search out factors that impact their viewpoints. As a sufficient farming asset, sugarcane bagasse has drawn in broad exploration interests because of its high yearly profit, low expenses, and natural well disposed characters. During these investigates, different boundaries are capable to recognize their belongings; nonetheless, these examinations are managed independently. This audit paper talks about that the impact of bagasse fiber and its mixing with luffa normal and counterfeit composites on different mechanical, morphological, Moisture ingestion limit, and thermo mechanical properties.
