## Abstract To determine the possibility of using sugarcane bagasse (SCB) waste as reinforcing filler in the thermoplastic polymer matrix, SCBβreinforced polypropylene (PP) composites were prepared. The PP and SCB composites were prepared by the extrusion of PP resin with 5, 10, 15, and 20 wt % of

The effect of accelerated weathering on the visual appearance and on mechanical properties of high impact polystyrene (HIPS) as well as HIPS reinforced with mercerized and bleached sugarcane bagasse fibers composites are investigated. After accelerated weathering period of 900 h, under UV-B radiatio
In the present work, chemical modification of the sugarcane bagasse fibers by estherification through anhydride system was studied to use as reinforcement in polyester matrix. Sugarcane bagasse fibers were estherified during 5 hours with acetic anhydride, toluene, acetic acid and percloric acid. The
Short jute fiber-reinforced polypropylene (PP) composites were prepared using a high-speed thermokinetic mixer. A compatibilizer was used to improve the molecular interaction between jute and PP. Both the percent weight fraction of the jute fiber and compatibilizer were varied to study the dynamic m
