| description | Wood plastic composite using bagasse fibre and recycled high density polyethylene (rHDPE) were developed in this study. Modification of nano-
silica and maleated polyethylene (MAPE) were mixed to improve interfacial bonding. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of
percentage of fibre loading and modification using nano-silica filler on
mechanical properties of WPC produced from bagasse fibre and recycled
HDPE. The rHDPE was melted at 130oC and directly blended with bagasse
fibre, nano-silica and MAPE according to various mixture percentages. The
compounds materials were compressed into a mould 150mm x 150mm x
30mm. The boards were cut into test samples for mechanical assessments
which is tensile testing and flexural testing in accordance with ASTM
standard. It was found that fibre loading has more apparent influence on the
strength properties of bagasse composites. The tensile MOR, MOE and
flexural MOR decreased while flexural MOE increased with the increasing of
fibre loading. The study also concluded that addition of nano-silica has
significantly improved the MOR and MOE of the composite material. |
