Compressive Properties of Epoxy Composites Reinforced with Sugarcane Bagasse Powder for High-Performance Flooring
摘要
The growing demand forSugarcane bagasse powder sustainable materials drivesEpoxy composites the valorization of agro-industrial residues. In this scenario, sugarcane bagasse, an abundant agro-industrial byproduct, emerges as a promising alternative for composite materialsComposite materials, promoting the circular economy. This research explores the potential of incorporating these residues into epoxy compositesEpoxy composites to develop sustainable, cost-effective, high-performance coatingsCoatings. The study aims to contribute to the understanding of how natural fillers affect the mechanical propertiesMechanical properties of epoxy resinsEpoxy resin and provide insights into the benefits of using renewable resources in composite materialComposite materials production. This study investigates the hardnessHardness properties of epoxy compositesEpoxy composites reinforced with sugarcane bagasse powder; the reinforcement varies between 5 to 20 vol.%. A compression testCompression tests will be conducted on the compositeComposites, in order to identify the force required for its rupture.
