Manufacturing Process and Mechanical Properties of Bamboo-Plastic Composites Reinforced with Bamboo-Woven
In view of the shortcomings of low strength and high brittleness of bamboo-plastic composite materials (BPC)
in this study
the hot-pressing molding process was adopted. Four bamboo weaving structures were introduced into the composite materials respectively
namely
cr
oss weaving (CW)
twill weaving (TW)
mesh weaving (MW)
and unidirectional bamboo weaving (UW)
to manufacture bamboo-woven reinforced BPC. The results showed that
comparing with the unreinforced BPC
the mechanical properties of three other bamboo-woven reinforced BPC were significantly improved except TW-BPC. Among them
the tensile strength and flexural strength of UW-BPC increased by 108.3% and 81.7% respectively
and the impact strength reached 57.0 kJ/m
2
which was approximately five times that of the unreinforced BPC. During the low-speed impact testing
the warp-and-weft structure of bamboo weaving demonstrated significant impact resistance advantages. The peak impact load of MW-BPC at energy level of 10 J was 79.6% higher than that of unreinforced BPC. The research results inspired new ideas for the innovative application of the composite of bamboo and BPC.
