In this study, experiments are performed to study the physical and mechanical behaviour of chemically-treated sugarcane bagasse fibre-reinforced epoxy composite. The effect of alkali treatment, fibre varieties, and fibre lengths on physical and mechanical properties of the composites is studied. To study the morphology of the fractured composites, scanning electron microscopy is performed over fractured composite surfaces. The study found that the variety and lengths of fibres significantly influence the physical and mechanical properties of the sugarcane bagasse-reinforced composites. From the wear study, it is found that the composite fabricated from smaller fibre lengths show low wear. The chemically-treated bagasse-reinforced composites fabricated in this study show good physical and mechanical properties and are, therefore, proposed for use in applications in place of conventional natural fibres.

The present work aims to investigate relating to natural fibre-based epoxy composites. This study is dealt with the fabrication and chemical treatment evaluation of waste sugarcane bagasse fibre and wood dust powder composite. Sugarcane bagasse fibre and wood dust powder found to be good bonding owing to its properties like light-weight, high specific strength, bio-degradability and so on. The sugarcane shells are collected from local juice job and then it is chemically treated along with removal of sugar, and then dried in open atmosphere in the presence of sunlight. It is then pulverized to particle sizes of 1.0 mm, 1.5 mm, 2.0 mm and with a weight ratio of 75:25, the epoxy resins are mixed through which the fibres with 6 mm thick mould composites are made with different flat-shape. As per ASTM standards, specimens are made for conducting the experiments such as density determination, moisture absorption and mechanical tests. The sugarcane bagasse/epoxy composites (SB/EC) with wood dust powder were chemically treated with benzoic acid and sodium hydroxide for obtaining the mechanical properties. The results show that chemically treated composites have more flexural and tensile strength as compared with untreated sugar-free SB/EC. Alkali (NaoH) treatment obtains the highest flexural and tensile strength as compared with benzoic acid treatment. Both flexural and tensile strength of synthetically(chemical) treated composites, in any case, discovered lower than those of untreated sugarcane bagasse filled composite when unwashed sugarcane bagasse which contained sugar. Thus without additional chemical treatment, sugarcane bagasse perhaps used as a reinforcing agent since sugar contributes to the mechanical properties of the composites.

ABSTRACT The objective of this study is to assess the effect of the laminar inclusion on the physical and mechanical properties of sugarcane bagasse particleboard. We used the commercial panels of sugarcane bagasse produced in China. To evaluate the effect of the laminar inclusion was tested two wood species (Pinus and Eucalyptus) and two pressures (10 and 15 kgf.cm-2) along with a control (without laminar inclusion). The panels with laminar inclusion obtained improvements in the physical properties, with a significant reduction in the WA2h, WA24h and TS2h. There was a significant increase in the properties MOE and MOR parallel and Janka hardness, while the properties MOE and MOR perpendicular decreased significantly. The pinus and eucalyptus veneers inclusion resulted in similar results when added to the panel with a 10 kgf.cm-2 pressure. The use of 15 kgf.cm-2 pressure is not indicated for the pinus veneer inclusion in sugar cane bagasse panels. There was no effect of the pressure level when evaluating the eucalyptus veneer inclusion on the properties of the sugarcane bagasse panels.

We investigated the processes of water absorption, chemical stability and microhardness of films of epoxy composites that contained as the polymer matrix the epoxy resin UP-655 and mineral fillers: graphite, mica, aluminum oxide at their content (0 - 30 % mass). It found that introduction of mineral fillers significantly affects on all complex of operating characteristics of the films. Increase of filler content, especially mica, to 20 %, resulting in slower process and reducing the quantity of absorbed moisture by films. In the study of physical and mechanical properties of filled epoxy composites was established that the introduction of mineral filler significantly affects their microhardness, and the nature of the exposure is determined by the type and filler content.

Effect Of Surface

Natural fibre reinforced composites have attracted the attention of research community mainly because they are turning out to be an alternative to synthetic fibre. Various natural fibres such as jute, sisal, palm, coir and banana are used as reinforcements. In this paper, banana fibres and glass fibres have been used as reinforcement. Hybrid epoxy polymer composite was fabricated using chopped banana/glass fibre and the effect of alkali treatment was also studied. It is found that the alkali treatment improved the mechanical properties of the composite.

Bagasse Fibre

Individuals from the group of inorganic polymers are known as geopolymers. The geopolymer material's compound organisation is similar to that of typical zeolitic materials, however the microstructure is undefined rather than translucent. The polymerisation interaction includes a considerably quick substance response under antacid condition on Si-Al minerals and that meets the basic properties of concrete as well as falls under classification of manageability. Utilization of various fibres like steel, glass, sugarcane bagasse etc, significantly influences fresh and hardened properties of concrete. Sugarcane bagasse fibre is a by-product from sugar industries and can be used as a fibre in concrete. The target of this paper is to study an effect of sugarcane bagasse fibre on mechanical properties such as compressive, tensile and flexural sgength and also the workability of low calcium fly ash (Class-F) and slag based geopolymer concrete of G40 grade which is équivalent to M40.. Sugarcane baggase ash fibre has been used for both the concencrte G40 and M40 as 0.5%,1%,1.5%,2%. All the samples were casted and oven cured at 60o for 24 hours after one day rest period and remaining days cured in an ambient temperature, then tested on 3rd, 7th and 28th day to assess the mechanical properties, such as Compressive, Tensile, and Flexure strength. The results were compared among controlled concrete (CC), controlled concrete with sugarcane bagasse fibre (CCF), geopolymer concrete (GPC) and geopolymer concrete with sugarcane bagasse fibre (GPCF). The results revealed that with addition of SCBF, the mechanical properties have been enhanced significantly.

Fiber reinforced composite materials are attractive because of their properties such as high toughness, water resistance and can be adapted to meet the specific needs of a variety of applications. Incorporation of natural fibers can reduce the dependency over synthetic fibers. In this work, Jute glass fiber reinforced composites are fabricated by simple hand lay-up technique using epoxy resin as a matrix and various mechanical properties like tensile strength, flexural strength, impact strength and also the water absorption properties of the composite specimens are evaluated and analysed thoroughly. It is observed that incorporation of optimum amount of jute fibre with glass fibre improved mechanical properties can be achieved. Finally cost of composites are analysed and compared.
