Investigating the Influence of Hydroperoxide Treatment on the Bagasse Fiber Reinforced Composite Properties

This study has investigated the effect of hydroperoxide treatment on properties bagasse fibers in order to get value added material using by-products from sugar production such as reinforcement for composite materials. The results processing with at different concentration, temperature and treatement time showed that condition had a great influence obtained fibers. With suitable conditions 10% peroxide 40 minutes, 60 0C, treated fiber more homogeneous surface than untreated. hybrid bagasse/glass higher flexural impact resistance when glass reaches 162.6 MPa 38.9 KJ/m2 (16.7% 213% respectively compared only). can be explained better wetting ability matrix resin together energy absorption capacity bundle, it leads an increase strength material.
