| Abstract Scope |
The research explores the potential of incorporating agro-industrial residues in epoxy composites to develop sustainable, cost-effective, high-performance coatings. The study aims to contribute to the understanding of how natural fillers affect the mechanical properties of epoxy resins and provide insights into the benefits of using renewable resources in composite material production. This study investigates the hardness and compressive properties of epoxy composites reinforced with sugarcane bagasse waste; the reinforcement varied between 10 to 30 vol.%. The compression results showed that natural fillers reduce the compressive strength of the composites but gain the softness that is important in areas where needs absorb impacts and deformation, this behavior is related to sugarcane bagasse waste characteristics with high porosity. Another advantage is regarding the lightness since the density of composite is very low also. |
