| Summary: | A growing interest of sugarcane bagasse fibre composite has
been observed in recent years due to its attractiveness properties such as
low specific weight, renewable source and producible with low investment
at low cost. However, these materials have a low interfacial adhesion
between fibre and matrix which lead to reduction in certain mechanical
properties of the composite. To overcome this problem, studies show that
certain chemical treatments on the surface of the fibres are some
alternatives that significantly increase the adhesion reinforcement/matrix,
in some cases improving its mechanical properties. The objective of this
study was to evaluate the effect of different type of chemical treatment
which are alkali and acid treatment on sugarcane bagasse fibre surface
morphology. Seeking to improve the adhesion fibre matrix, the fibre has
been treated with 5% of NaOH and 5% of HCL solution with added of
bagasse fibre used in the range of 0% to 3% of cement weight respectively.
Through SEM investigation, it is confirmed that chemical treatment helps
to remove hemicelluloses from raw bagasse fiber as well as improved fibre
matrix adhesion. |
