Implication

Randomized trial evaluates the impact of surface modifications on bamboo fiber/epoxy composite performance, suggesting enhanced stability and strength.

Key Points

  • This research aims to determine how different surface modifications affect the performance of bamboo fiber-reinforced epoxy composites.
  • Evaluated three interfacial strategies: alkalization, sodium stearate modification, and nano-CaCO3 anchoring on high filling fractions (40-60 wt%) of bamboo fiber/epoxy composites.
  • Assessed mechanical properties like flexural modulus, compressive strength, and water absorption over a specified period.
  • Analyzed performance changes at critical fiber loading thresholds.
  • T2 modification resulted in an 86.5% increase in flexural modulus (5588 MPa) and a flexural strength retention of 64.9 MPa.
  • T3 induced a peak compressive strength of 108.6 MPa with a Tg elevation to 92.0°C, and Tmax delayed by 22.6°C.
  • Both T2 and T3 achieved a UL-94 V-0 fire safety rating without traditional flame retardants.
