Mechanical Properties of Sugarcane Bagasse Powder/Flyash Reinforced Polymer Composites
In rural areas, where a significant portion of the population resides, agricultural products are pivotal to the country’s economy. Natural fibers, historically essential in this context, are gaining traction as viable construction materials. Cotton, sugarcane, coco fiber, and banana fibers offer distinct advantages over synthetics, including lower density, higher specific stiffness, recyclability, and biocompatibility. These attributes position natural fiber composite materials as cost-effective building solutions, especially in construction. However, agricultural residues and processing methods often fall short of producing long fibers needed for conventional applications. Sugarcane bagasse, largely used as biofuel in sugar mills due to construction limitations. This study addresses the potential of sugarcane bagasse by chemically processing it into composite materials suitable for construction. Experiments investigate the mechanical and wear characteristics of composites made from chemically treated sugarcane bagasse fibers. Factors like chemical treatment, fiber type, and fiber length significantly affect mechanical and wear properties. Findings reveal that both fiber type and length considerably influence bagasse-reinforced composite materials' mechanical and wear properties. Wear analysis indicates that shorter fiber lengths lead to reduced wear. The chemically processed bagasse-reinforced composite materials exhibit superior mechanical properties compared to conventional natural fibers, suggesting their suitability for diverse applications. Additionally, the research examines epoxy resin composites containing bagasse powder and fly ash. Various compositions of epoxy resin, bagasse powder, and fly ash are evaluated for impacts on ultimate tensile strength, flexural strength, impact strength, and wear resistance. Optimal compositions demonstrate superior outcomes; a composition of 96% epoxy, 2% bagasse powder, and 2% fly ash showcases exceptional impact strength and minimal wear rate. These findings underscore the potential of tailored compositions in achieving desired mechanical and wear characteristics, reinforcing the viability of natural fiber-based composites as efficient and effective construction materials.
