Abstract

Due to the increased user awareness of reducing environmental pollution, natural fibre-based polymer composites are predictable to be in excessive demand in the coming years. Saccharum officinarum (sugarcane bagasse) is value-added biomass from agricultural waste attained from sugarcane processing. Several researchers have connected with sugarcane bagasse for many environmental sustainability and energy applications because of its abundant availability (up to ~ 223 million tons/year). In India, more than 200 million tons of sugarcane bagasse is obtained yearly. Bagasse ash as filler in polymer composites has improved mechanical properties. As an agriculture waste, bagasse fibre added with synthetic matrix composites is used in several applications, such as particle boards, false ceilings, and lightweight structures. In this work, glass fibre-reinforced polymer composites were fabricated with a varying weight percentage of sugarcane bagasse ash as a filler (0, 5, 10 wt.%). The hand layup method is used for fabricating the composite samples. This research evaluated mechanical characterization like compressive strength, tensile strength, and flexural strength of the fabricated glass fibre-reinforced polymer composites filled with sugarcane bagasse ash filler. As compared with unfilled glass fibre composites, 5 wt.% of bagasse ash-filled glass fibre composites improved the tensile strength by up to 11% and the compressive strength by up to 4%. Ten wt.% bagasse ash-filled glass fibre composites improved the flexural strength up to 59%.
