Characterization of epoxy with modified waste bagasse sugarcane composite

This investigation was conducted with the intention of determining the extent to which the performance of epoxy was affected by the strength of sugarcane bagasse fiber when it was being applied. As a result of the treatment technique that was carried out on sugarcane bagasse fiber, the purpose of the study was to ascertain the mechanical, thermal, and physical characteristics that were changed because of the treatment. When the sugarcane bagasse fiber was examined, the layers of hemicellulose and lignin that were present in the fiber were either eliminated or decreased. The use of a solution of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) throughout the chemical treatment process was how this objective was brought about. To determine the strength of the sugarcane bagasse fiber that had been treated, samples of fiber that had not been treated were used as a reference. This was done to measure the strength of the fiber. The comparison consisted of examining the surface morphology of the bio composite material, which was composed of epoxy and sugarcane bagasse fiber. Additionally, the properties of the material were evaluated in terms of its mechanical, thermal, and physical properties.
