Overview

Examines treatments to improve mechanical properties of bamboo/E-glass hybrid composites, indicating better fiber bonding.

Key Points

  • The aim is to investigate how alkali and peroxide treatments affect bamboo fiber compatibility and performance in hybrid composites.
  • Manual extraction of bamboo fibers from culms
  • Surface treatments with alkali and peroxide solutions
  • Hybrid composites created using hand lay-up method at various bamboo/e-glass ratios
  • Testing conducted according to ASTM standards using FTIR and SEM analyses
  • Best tensile strength of 250 MPa achieved with 5% alkali-treated 10/30 bamboo/e-glass composite
  • Flexural strength reached 294.84 MPa with the same composite
  • Highest impact strength of 30.8 kJ/m² found in 10% peroxide-treated 10/30 composite
  • Treated fibers exhibited reduced moisture absorption, enhancing fiber-matrix bonding
