Morphological, Mechanical, and Multifunctional Properties of Sugar Cane Bagasse/Polyester Composites

Various fiber-matrix combinations were used to create biodegradable composites using sugar cane bagasse (SCB) fiber and a polyester resin (PES) matrix. SEM, FTIR, mechanical testing, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and the method of soil burial were employed to assess the effects of the fiber content (۹-۵۴ wt%), PLA (۱-۵.۵ wt%), starch (۱-۵.۵ wt%), and fiber treatment on the morphology of the surface, flexural, thermal, tensile as well as biodegradable qualities of polyester/sugar cane bagasse fiber biocomposites. The outcomes demonstrated that the optimal tensile strength of biocomposites, impact, and Flexural capabilities were attained by the ۳۷ wt% treated sugar cane bagasse fibers. Tensile, flexural, and impact strength measurements for the ۹, ۱۸, ۲۷, ۳۷, ۴۵, and ۵۴ wt% biocomposites, respectively, ranged from ۱۰.۲۱ to ۱۸.۰۰, ۲۱.۳۳ to ۲۸.۱۲, and ۱۲.۲۱ to ۱۵.۶۷ Mpa. The results show that sugarcane bagasse-polyester composites demonstrated acceptable mechanical and multifunctional properties. This portrays the effectiveness of Sugarcane bagasse as reinforcement for Polyester matrix and its potential for eco-friendly fabrication of components.
