Impact Response of Bamboo-Plastic Composites with the Properties of Bamboo and Polyvinylchloride (PVC)
Source abstract
Abstract
This paper investigates the impacts of moisture content, granular size of bamboo particles and the proportion between bamboo and Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) on the stability and mechanical properties of bamboo-plastic composites, which were made using virgin PVC with bamboo granule as filler. Composite panels which were made with higher moisture content of bamboo through hot-press moulding exhibited excellent dimensional stability. The tensile and flexural properties of the composites were optimal at 40 mesh granule size of bamboo. Dimensional stability and strength properties of the composites can be improved by increasing the polymer content.
