“…The results showed that the bagasse in the polymer composite improved the flexural strength, Izod impact strength, Charpy impact strength, and heat distortion temperature, but the tensile strength of the polymer composite decreased after the addition of bagasse in the polymer blend. Thermoplastic scraper composites were prepared from low-density polyethylene and sugarcane bagasse by electron beam pre-irradiation [10]. The results demonstrated that the addition of a mixture of pentaerithrol tetraacrylate and dicumyl peroxide as coupling agents improved the thermal stability of low density polyethylene.…”

Bagasse was modified with sodium hydroxide and silane, and the obtained three polymer composite types, namely natural fiber, sugarcane bagasse, and plaster were procured by the two-roll mill method. The characterization of the modified sugarcane bagasse was achieved with attenuated total reflection-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The results show that the presence of Si-CH 3 group occurred on the bagasse surface after chemical modification. Adhesion force of cellulose changes after chemical treatment was observed from AFM. The optimum cure time (tc 90 ) and torque of the natural fiber/plaster increased with increasing plaster loading in the composite. The modulus of the resulting composite increased with both plaster and bagasse but the tensile strength and elongation-at-break of the composite decreased as a function of plaster sugarcane bagasse. The polymer composite possesses the best properties at 5 part per hundred rubber (phr) bagasse loading and 30 phr plaster.

This study provides a bibliographic review for future reference in the broad field of bagasse composites by looking for factors that influence their attributes. As an abundant agriculture resource, sugarcane bagasse has attracted extensive research interests because of its high annual yields, low costs, and environmental-friendly characters. During these research, various parameters have been tested to identify their effects; however, these studies are carried out dispersedly. This review provides a summary of these factors, their impacts, and mechanisms. Three factors are used to explain the attributes of bagasse composites followed by the factors involved in preparation, modification, and additives and also their influences. Then the best mechanical properties of different bagasse composites and their achieving condition are summarized. Durability is also reviewed. Additionally, competitive application of bagasse composites is defined by comparing their attributes with other natural fiber composites.

“…In agreement with the previous study, results show that CCF introduced to low density polyethylene (LDPE) and wax in certain composition improves tensile strength and hardness . Adding the CCF to LDPE improves thermal stability of the polymer [12]. If CCF is mixed with natural rubber, it will increase the tensile strength [2].…”

Organic materials are abundant, renewable, cheap and fully biodegradable. They are promising since they may be blended with plastic to enhance the mechanical and electrical properties of polymer matrix composites. In this research, sisal composites were manufactured from 1% NaOH treated coconut coir fibres (CCF) blended with Standard Malaysian Rubber (SMR), linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) and titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ). The influence of fibre loading on the composites in the tensile tests and electrical properties tests has been evaluated. Partial discharge (PD) test was done to evaluate the electrical performance of the composites under constant 6.5 kV AC source for 1 hour utilizing the CIGRE Method II . The partial discharge characteristics were observed using picoscope and LabView 8.5 software. Then, tensile tests were carried out to evaluate the mechanical performance of the fibre reinforced composite materials. The results of PD characteristics and mechanical properties of composites obtained showed enhancement of the mechanical properties and improvement of the PD resistance of the composites with the addition of CCF. It is demonstrated that the composites containing 16 wt% CCF, 48 wt% NR, 32 wt% LDPE and 4 wt% TiO 2 showed a good mechanical and PD resistance. Therefore, this composite is suggested to be used as electrical insulating material with better electrical and mechanical properties.
