Performance of Hybrid kenaf - bagasse particle boards compared with Commercial Board
Abstract
The pursuit of sustainable construction materials requires exploring bio-composites as alternative for conventional particle board used in green buildings. This study evaluate the mechanical properties of bio-composite panels made from a mixture of ( kenaf fibers : bagasse fibers) with urea-formaldehyde (UF) resin as sustainable alternative to conventional particleboard. Two types of panels were analyzed: a standard (Specimen S) and specimen(B) (kenaf fibers: bagasse fibers) (50:50). Key properties assessed included tensile strength, stress, strain, modulus of rupture (MOR), modulus of elasticity (MOE), Density, internal bond (IB) and young’s modules. The specimen (B) exhibited Tensile Strengths of (21.6) MPA,as compared with the (Specimen S) which has the value of 23.4 MPA. The specimen (B) exhibited Stress of (20.1) MPA, as compared with the (Specimen S) which has the value of 22.3 MPA. The specimen (B) exhibited Strain of (0.84,) %, as compared with the (Specimen S) which has the value of 1.2%. The specimen (B) exhibited MOR of (20) MPA,as compared with the (Specimen S) which has the value of 21 MPA. The specimen (A) exhibited MOE of (1.8) GPA, as compared with the (Specimen S) which has the value of 2.6 GPA. The specimen (B) exhibited Density of (0.48) g/cm3 as compared with the (Specimen S) which has the value of 0.6 g/cm3. The specimen (B) exhibited IB of (0.63) MPA, as compared with the (Specimen S) which has the value of 0.9 MPA. The specimen (B) exhibited young’s modules of (2280) MPA, as compared with the (Specimen S) which has the value of 2500 MPA. This study concludes that the Also the specimen B is shown mechanical properties which are relatively close to the standard (specimen S). The tensile strength, MOR, MOE, Young′s Modulus and strain were very good and the stiffness was good, but it showed lower flexibility and a slight decrease in internal bonding. It can be concluded according to the findings of this study that (specimen B) can be used for interior panels (non –load bearing uses) and furniture in green buildings.The study recommended using additional proportions of kenaf fibers, improving the mechanical properties of specimens by increasing the fibers proportions, increasing the resin content and by applying higher mold pressure and increasing density enhances the MOR, MOE and IB values and makes specimens more suitable for industrial applications and green buildings construction.
