Fabrication of Hybrid Composite With Aluminum and Sugarcane Bagasse Reinforcement for Investigation of Its Properties

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This research work was carried out to prepare hybrid-type polymer composites by introducing aluminum (Al) and sugarcane bagasse as reinforcements and polypropylene as the matrix phase. The hybrid composite was PP-Al-Bagasse. Here, the percentage of reinforcements varied (10-40 wt.% %), and the reinforcements were used to investigate the changes in different properties. UTM was used to determine the tensile strength and impact strength. OM SEM was used to examine the morphological characteristics of the hybrid composites. According to experimental research, the PP-Al-Bagasse hybrid composite possesses less mechanical strength than virgin polypropylene. Although mechanical properties are decreasing, we found that (30 weight percent of reinforcement) the hybrid composite gave comparatively higher values than other wt. Percentage of reinforcements. And the results of tensile strength and impact strength were 24.57and 3861.85 MPa, respectively.
