Evaluation of Abrasion, Biocompatibility and Degradation Behavior of Polypropylene/Sugarcane Bagasse Ash Particulate Composites for Dental Application

R. M. Dodo*, IBRAHIM ABUBAKAR IBRAHIM, BelloKamilu A, Asuke F., Abdullahi Ibrahim, Shamsu Mohammed

This study reports abrasion, biocompatibility and degradation behavior of Polypropylene (PP)/Sugarcane Ba gasse Ash Particulate (SBAP) composites for possible application as dental implant materials. PP composites  were prepared with varying weight per cent of SBAP ranging from 10 – 50 wt% at regular interval of 10. Hard ness test and wear analysis...

Evaluation of Bagasse Ash for Application in Glass Manufacture

Tagwoi J. T.*, Garkida A. D., Ali E. A., Asuke F., Yawas D. S.

Bagasse ash results from burning bagasse, a matted cellulose fiber residue from sugarcane that has been processed in sugar mills. In this paper, Bagasse ash has been chemically characterized in order to evaluate the possibility of its use in glass manufacture. The result of X-ray fluorescence (XRF) showed the ash to contain SiO2 - 31.67%, K2O -...
