Investigation of a porous biochar-reinforced vinyl ester composite with bamboo fibre and jackfruit rags: characteristics of heat conductivity, wear, mechanical stress, water absorption, and dielectric reactivity
摘要
The purpose of this study is to analyse the mechanical, electrical, thermal, absorption of water, and wear characteristics of a less dense, inexpensive, renewable, and corrosive-resistant vinyl ester composite reinforced with biochar particles and bamboo fibres. A filler known as biochar, it is made using the slow pyrolysis method and is collected from the biomass waste of jackfruit rags. The hand layup process is used to manufacture the biofiller particle-reinforced vinyl ester composite using bamboo fibre. Plus, we use the ASTM standard to measure the prepared composite’s performance. The amount of biochar that is incorporated into the composite determines how the material performs. In addition, the composite plate with less than 3 weight per cent biochar shows impressive strengths in flexural, compression, tensile, and impact, with values of 134 MPa, 174 MPa, 139 MPa, and 4.9 J, respectively. In addition, the composite VBJ3 with 5 wt.% biochar particles has excellent wear and water absorption characteristics, a high dielectric constant, and good thermal conductivity. The results show that the VBJ3 composite plate has better material qualities than the others. Additionally, this study emphasises the ways in which biochar particles recovered from biomass and vinyl ester composites reinforced with bamboo fibres contribute to high-performance applications in areas including power generation, transportation, aviation, and manufacturing, among others.
