Alkali Treatment of Screw Pine (Pandanus Odoratissimus) Fibers and Its Effect on Unsaturated Polyester Composites

Abstract: Characteristics of Screw Pine fiber of species Pandanus Odoratissimus (PO fibers) and short PO fibers reinforced composite were studied. The results show that various alkali concentrations changed ability of PO fibers in absorptions of moisture, chemical compositions and cross-sectional area. The untreated and treated PO fibers were compounded with unsaturated polyester to evaluate their mechanical properties. The treated PO fiber composites exhibit high mechanical properties in comparison with untreated ones.… Show more

“…TS value of pure PO is 38.3 MPa that is a little bit lower than other TS of PO from referees [5]. As shown in the figure 1 that strength of pure PO matrix is higher than that of all composite strength after being mixed by BC sheets of nanofibers.…”

“…This is due to the fact that some the fibers was not glued effectively by the matrix, and not dispersed homogeneously in the matrix [11,12]. Because of high volume content of fibers, agglomeration is possible to exist in the composite matrix.…”
