Abstract
The main objective of this study is to investigate the effects of the fiber surface treatment on the mechanical properties of bamboo fiber reinforced polyester resin composite materials for different applications. To investigate the mechanical properties of the materials different chemical treatments and experimental testing setups have been used. Four different types of testing samples were prepared from bamboo fiber reinforced polyester resin composites using untreated bamboo fiber, 10 Vol% NaOH treated bamboo fiber (10TBF), 20 Vol% NaOH treated bamboo fiber (20TBF), and 10 Vol% NaOH plus corn starch soaked for 30 min treated bamboo fiber. To characterize the mechanical properties of the fabricated composite materials, the WAW 1000D hydraulic universal tensile testing machine with ASTM ISO-6892 standard, ABAQUS CAE finite element analysis, and GOM Correlate Software integrated digital image correlation (DIC) analysis were used. The results obtained indicate that the use of higher volume percentage of NaOH treatment chemical leads to uniform distribution of stress fields on the surface of materials. In addition to that, the use of 10 Vol% NaOH plus corn starch soaking of bamboo fiber gives improved elastic and elongation properties.
