Effect of fiber content on thermal and mechanical properties of euphorbia coagulum modified polyester and bamboo fiber composite

Multifunctional actuators integrated with the function of self-powered temperature sensing made with Ti3C2Tx–bamboo nanofiber composites

“…42 With the increase of the mass proportion of bamboo nanofibers, it is difficult to disperse the bamboo nanofibers, so the existence of fiber clumps produces weak interface bonding. [47][48][49] Therefore, when the mass proportion of bamboo nanofibers reaches 70%, the tensile stress and Young's modulus of the Ti 3 C 2 T x -bamboo nanofiber composites are only 1.6 MPa and 0.5 GPa, respectively. In order to evaluate the mechanical stability of theTi 3 C 2 T x -bamboo nanofiber composites, they were fixed on a displacement platform using PI tape and tested for 100 cycles.…”

Effect of alkaline treatment on physical, structural, mechanical and thermal properties of Bambusa tulda (Northeast Indian species) based sustainable green composites

“…The peak at 1598 and 1503 cm −1 of untreated fiber are due to the bending vibration of the CC and CO bond from lignin. [ 23 ] In treated fiber, these two peaks are absent, indicating that the lignin has been removed after chemical treatment. In addition to these two peaks but also peaks at 1369 cm −1 (presenting bending vibration of CH 2 groups of hemicellulose) and 1243 cm −1 (presenting stretching vibration of CO groups of hemicellulose) are also absent after chemical treatments; indicating successful removal of hemicellulose, extractive and lignin.…”

“…Zhang et al [ 22 ] treated Moso bamboo with 2; 6 and 10% NaOH concentrations and the thermomechanical properties of the developed composite have been investigated. Kumari et al [ 23 ] used polyester along with bamboo fiber imported from Nagaland, India and prepared composites for different testing. Chin et al [ 24 ] investigated the effect of chemical treatment time and treatment concentration on Gigantochlea scotechini ‐reinforced epoxy composites.…”

Replacing Plastic with Bamboo: A Review of the Properties and Green Applications of Bamboo-Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Composites

“…However, when the concentration of bamboo particles exceeded 3%, the interfacial adhesion between the fiber and matrix became poor due to the aggregation of nanoparticles, resulting in a decrease in the mechanical properties of the samples [116]. In 2017, Kumari et al [117] modified bamboo fiber/polyester composites with euphorbia coagulum (EC) as a binder using compression molding technique, and the mechanical properties of the composites were improved by alkali treatment to change the bamboo fibers from hydrophilic to hydrophobic. The best mechanical and thermal properties of the composites with low water absorption were obtained when the bamboo fiber content was 40% and EC content was 30%.…”
