Abstract
A Comparative Study on the Mechanical Properties of Arundo Donax Epoxy Composites with Bamboo Epoxy Composites - written by Prathap K , Mr. Ravi Kumbar published on 2019/12/17 download full article with reference data and citations
Highlights
With the technological advancements in today’s world, the need of the hour calls for materials with lighter weight, higher strength, increased safety and better properties .This has led to the development of composite materials which have so far served the purpose
The samples which epoxy resin reinforced with 2%, 4% & 6% Bamboo fiber and Arundo donax fiber were cut from the respective moulds
Tensile test was conducted for both the Arundo donax and bamboo epoxy composites, above tables and graphs shows the Tensile strength of all the samples with different composition, from the experiment we can observe that Tensile strength of sample 4 with 2% AD + 98% matrix is more when compared to 2%B+98% matrix and 6%B+94% Matrix has more tensile strength as we can observe on the graph above,which can be used in different application
Summary
With the technological advancements in today’s world, the need of the hour calls for materials with lighter weight, higher strength, increased safety and better properties .This has led to the development of composite materials which have so far served the purpose. Availability in natural fibers such as sugar cane, bamboo, jute, coconut shell and arundo donax are high.so I prefer Arundo donax because of its abundant availability .Arundo donax represent the slender like structures, It is a reed species .it grows in damp soil, either fresh or moderately saline and native to Mediterranean basin.it is been widely planted and naturalized in the mild temperature. Bamboo species are native to warm and moist tropical and to warm temperate climates. Many species are found in diverse climates, ranging from hot tropical regions to cool mountainous regions and highland cloud forests. As in other grasses, the internodal regions of the stem are usually hollow and the vascular bundles in the cross-section are scattered throughout the stem instead of in a cylindrical arrangement Bamboos include some of the fastest-growing plants in the world. I have collected the bamboo waste from the wood industry and using bamboo waste for preparation of the moulds
