Reinforcing thermoplastic polymers with natural fibres tends to improve tensile and flexural strength but adversely affect elongation and impact strength. This limits the application of such composites where toughness is a major criterion. In the present work, bamboo fibre reinforced polypropylene (PP) composites were prepared with bamboo fibre content varying from 30% to 50% with improved impact resistance. Homopolymer and copolymer PP were used as the matrix polymer and an elastomer was used (10% by wt.) as an additive in the formulation. Copolymer based composites exhibited superior elongation and impact strength as compared to homopolymer based composites. The adverse impact of elastomer on tensile and flexural strength was more pronounced in homopolymer based composites. The study suggested that the properties of the bamboo composites can be tailored to suit different applications by varying reinforcement and elastomer percentage.

Abstract Thermoplastic polymer composites reinforced with short plant fiber are worldwide in focus of research activities. Interfacial shear strength (IFSS) is an important indicator for evaluating the bonding quality between the fiber and the matrix polymer. However, the direct measurement of IFSS is especially difficult in the case of short fibers. In the present article, a method is proposed to this purpose, which is related to the known “fiber pulling out” methodology. In the case of single bamboo fibers, the IFSS in a polypropylene (PP) matrix was on, an average, of 5 MPa, which can be considered as weak. Scanning electron microscopy images revealed a rough inner surface in PP cavities left after fiber pulling out. This is direct evidence that a mechanical interlocking mechanism is active in the interphase between the hydrophilic fibers and the hydrophobic matrix.
