Mechanical behavior of plant-based composite: a case with rice straw
-
Chikesh Ranjan
Abstract
The objective of the present chapter is to study plant-based composite. In many countries, burning of rice straw creates problems in terms of smoke. This smoke is very harmful to the environment. A lot of research work has been done on natural fiber plant-based composite. Rice straw fiber has improved tensile, impact and Young’s modulus. In this chapter, we discuss about preparation of different types of rice straw fiber with epoxy composite. Rice straw fiber is used in untreated form, treated with hot water or with NaOH, with different volume fractions. The mechanical properties of all samples have been compared and analyzed. All testing was done according to ISO and ASTM standards
