DEVELOPMENT AND CHARACTERIZATION OF SISAL FIBER AND WOOD DUST REINFORCED POLYMERIC COMPOSITES

ABSTRACT

Mechanical properties of composite board made from waste paper, wood dust, and sisal fibers with various weight proportions were investigated in this work. The composite board was produced by hand lay-up technique with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) binder. The result shows that the bending strength ranged between 3.5 N/mm² and 7.5 N/mm²; water absorption values between 6.65% and 10.5%; as well as density between 280 kg/mm³ and 360 kg/mm³. A better combination of results has been found for sisal fiber (35%), wood dust (30%), PVA (10%) and waste paper (25%). The obtained result is compared with those of the conventional ceiling board results and it is observed that these composite materials can be used for internal low-cost construction work for separation, and acoustic & thermal insulation purposes.

摘要

本文研究了由废纸、木尘和不同重量比例的西石纤维制成的复合板的机械性能. 复合板采用聚乙烯醇（PVA）粘合剂手工铺设技术制成. 结果表明，弯曲强度范围在3.5 N/mm2至7.5 N/mm2之间;吸水值在6.65%至10.5%之间;密度介于 280 kg/mm3 和 360 kg/mm3 之间。发现西化纤维（35%）、木尘（30%）、PVA（10%）的结果组合较好. 和废纸（25%）. 所得结果与传统天花板的结果比较，并观察到这些复合材料可用于内部低成本的施工分离和隔音和隔热目的.
