Synergistic Effects of Bamboo and Jute Fiber Integration in Geopolymer Composites
J. Environ. Nanotechnol., Volume 13, No 2 (2024) pp. 115-126
Abstract
Use natural fiber derived from natural products like fruit leaves, tress constituents, and leftovers can now to create environmentally acceptable materials with excellent mechanical qualities. Geopolymer, on the other hand, behave like materials based on Portland cement in terms of fragility and limited ductility. The assessment of bamboo-reinforcement is the main objective of this work. To investigate the impact of the content of mechanical properties and the type of fiber of resulting composites for geopolymer, varying concentrations of bamboo (ranging from 0.4 to 4.0 wt %) were created. Three-point bending, splitting tensile, and compression testing made up the mechanical characterization process. While one of the mechanical tests bend, ing, which is done by the Point method test, suggested a continuous relation between fiber contented and flexural strength, the outcome of the all-mechanical tests, like tensile and compression tests, demonstrated obtaining the maximum strength of the fiber. Conversely, the compressive, splitting tensile, and flexural strengths of geopolymers with 2% (wt %) bamboo fiber reinforcement increased to 65%, 45%, and 232%, respectively. In all mechanical tests, the inclusion of bamboo fiber at the ideal content causes the samples' failure mode to change from brittle to more ductile.
