Mechanical behavior of Bamboo Fiber and Glass Fiber composite

  • Abstract:
  • A bamboo as a green engineering material fiber-reinforced polyethylene (PE) composite was prepared and its mechanical properties were tested. To enhance the adhesion between the bamboo fiber and the polyethylene matrix, maleic anhydride-grafted polyethylene (MAPE) used as a compatibilizer for the composite. The demand for HDPE products is rising significantly over the globe. Research in green technology is being done to generate bamboo fiber and glass fiber composite. Additionally, They are inexpensive, low density, highlyspecific, biodegradable. Recycled High density polyethylene is employed as a matrix and is combined with bamboo fiber and glass fiber in this investigation. A compression molding technique was used to create each sample. The mechanical characteristics of the prepared samples were characterised. The specimens were created based on the mass ratio of bamboo fiber and glass fiber to polymer. Flexural and Compressive, tests revealed that increasing the amount of Bamboo fiber and glass fiber content improves mechanical characteristics. The findings imply that BF/GF/rHDPE polymer composites could be utilised in the stress bearing restorations sheets,films and pipes.
