Mechanical Modelling of Bamboo Sawdust/polyester Composites Fabricated by Hot Pressing Method
Bamboo fibres of 1 to 3 mm sizes were milled to particle size of approximately 100μm using a hammer mill. The bamboo sawdust (BS) was chemical treated using NaOH of concentration 6 % wt/v for 72 h at room temperature. Dried bamboo sawdust was mixed with polyester at different weight ranging from 0 % to 24 % wt. %. The com posites were tested for ...
