Evaluation of Mechanical Properties and Morphological Studies of Bagasse Fibre (Chemically Treated/Untreated)-CaCO3 Epoxy Hybrid Composites
Abstract In past few years natural fibre composites have become very important part of research as potential structural material. The present study deals with a new class of chemically treated/untreated natural fibre and calcium carbonate reinforced composites. In the present investigation composites of bagasse fibre (10 % w/w) and calcium carbonate powder of size ≤30 μm (2 and 4 % w/w) with epoxy resin have been examined. The lengths of bagasse fibre have been varied from 1 to 5 mm. The fibres were chemically treated with NaOH (5 % w/v). Morphological changes of the fibres were observed under the scanning electron microscope. Addition of calcium carbonate showed increased mechanical properties of the developed composites like, flexural strength, compression strength. The composites reinforced with chemically treated fibres show better mechanical properties as compared to the composites reinforced with untreated fibres.
