Abstract

Abstract:

Peroxide modified bamboo reinforced epoxy and polyester composites were fabricated. The mechanical properties (tensile strength, elastic modulus, flexural strength, flexural modulus and impact strength) and water absorption properties were determined. Peroxide treatment decreases the hydrophilicity of fibers and also improves interfacial adhesion between the fiber and matrix leading to decrease in water absorption by the composites. It also leads to increased tensile strength of the composites. Peroxide treatment improves the flexural properties of epoxy composites significantly.
