Abstract

To increase the mechanical performance of polyethylene (PP) polymers in automobile parts, bagasse ash fibres were used before using sulfuric acid solutions. As a compatibilizer, hydride glued polyethylene was employed. Filament chemical structure was also assessed. Using a thermogenetic mixer type MH-50H, PP was blended with fibres in 5%-15% (wt/wt) amounts. Tensile specimens were also made for tension tests to evaluate mechanical behaviour. Other elements of bagasse might be removed using pre-treatment fibres. This foliar spray changed the surfaces of fibres by reducing some of their crystalline constituents. The addition of which was previously and compatible fibres to a matrix phase increased the tension elastic properties. With up to 15% of the fibres, a much stiffer and far less flexible fabric might be obtained. Nevertheless, the application of the binding ingredient produced results that were greater than those obtained with other hybrids.
