Bamboo fiber, Composite, Flexural strength, Polyester, Temperature
Abstract
This work is concerned with the evaluation of the effect of manufacturing temperature on mechanical properties of composites. Composites were fabricated using Bamboo fibre/polyester, and Bamboo fibre with varying fibre manufacturing temperature in compression mould method. Bamboo fibre reinforced polyester composites were fabricated with varying temperature of (140, 160, 180 °C). The results showed that Flexural strength of the composite increased with increasing temperature up to 180°C for Bamboo fibre polyester composite. Flexural strengths of Bamboo fibre /polyester composites were found to be higher than those of room temperature process.
