Chemical treatment for the sodium hydroxide & epoxy resin for produce sugar cane bagasse fibre pulp rein forced epoxy composites material

Abstract

Waste recycling has been the main topic of various scientific researches due to environmental management. Renewable agricultural sources such as pineapple leaf, sisal and sugarcane bagasse are among agro waste, normally known as biomass which is recently used for reinforcing polymeric materials. Sugarcane bagasse fibre residues have been extensively investigated and employed as a source of reinforcement of polymers. In the present research work a sugar cane bagasse fibre reinforced epoxy composite material has been developed with 35%, 45%, 55% of sugar cane bagasse fibre pulp with 50%, 40% and 30% mixed in epoxy resin. Experimental work was done to study the composite sheet of the thickness, density, impact strength and tensile strength properties. According to the analysis, it has observed that all the parameters are significantly affected. The overall results indicate the has fact that the highest tensile strength of composite sheet having a composition of 35% fibre pulp and 50% epoxy resin and higher impact strength composite sheet having a composition of 55% pulp ratio and 30% epoxy resin. The natural sugar cane bagasse fibre epoxy resin composite can lead to green manufacturing and can be used for a sustainable green environment. The major residue is normally burnt for energy supply in the sugar and alcohol industries and as a result, tons of ash is created. This create sever environmental problem like air pollution, smoke formation.
