The purpose of this research highlights
about cellulose and cellulignin fibres obtained from sugarcane bagasse (SCB)
waste can be used as reinforcing filler in a thermoplastic polymer matrix.
Natural fiber composites are one of the most appealing replacements for
non-biodegradable glass and carbon fibers in the fabrication of thermosetting
and thermoplastic composites. In the recent decade, there has been an increase
in global warming, environmental changes, and other issues. Environmentally
friendly products, such as natural composite materials, are being developed by
researchers and academics to protect life on the planet. The injection method
was used to create the low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and sugarcane bagasse
(SCB) composites. Fiber loading was set to be varied from 10 to 30 wt%. To
improve interfacial bonding, the fibres were chemically modified using an
alkali treatment, and the effects on the fiber/matrix interaction were
evaluated using scanning electron micrographs (SEM). Tensile, impact, and
hardness were used to determine the mechanical properties and corrosion tests.
The study found that sugarcane bagasse fibers, like other natural fibers,
reinforce polyethylene. The treated SCB fibers' tensile strength and modulus
were found to be greatly increased by around 13% and 196%, respectively, when
compared to plain LDPE. This was owing to the observed improvement in
interfacial adhesion between the fiber and matrix. The impact resistance and
hardness of the composite enhanced by 55.28% and 26%, respectively, over neat
LDPE. According to SEM analysis, the alkali treatment affected the morphology
of fibers.
