Sugarcane Bagasse-based Composites, Manufacturing Methods, Chemical Treatment, Mechanical Properties, Circular EconomyAbstract
Sugarcane Bagasse (SB) composites have significant potential as a substitute for conventional materials due to their distinct properties, sustainability, and eco-friendly characteristics. This paper explores the utilization of SB waste in fabricating eco-friendly composite materials for sustainable industrial applications. Technological developments in the fabrication of composites using SB have led to significant enhancements in the mechanical performance, interfacial strength, and durability of these materials. Chemical treatments such as alkali treatment, silane treatment, and acetylation treatment of SB fibers play crucial role in bonding behavior of SB fiber with matrices. Nano- and micro-fillers have also been incorporated to improve the performance of SB-based composites through improved fiber-matrix interaction. Due to the unique properties, SB composites have gained attention in various industries, including construction industry, automobile industry, packaging industry, etc. The automotive sector could utilize SB bio-composites of interior parts contributing to energy reduced dependence on conventional plastic materials. SB-based bioplastics could serve as a substitute for traditional plastics that is biodegradable in the packaging industry to help solve problems related to waste plastic. The continuous development of SB composites indicates a promising future in which SB could become an excellent choice for producing sustainable materials, contributing to the circular economy. However, more systematic research is needed to properly integrate SB-based composites in various advanced applications.
