Effect of utilising of sugarcane bagasse fibers on mechanical properties of composite materials ـــ a review

Abstract

Natural fibers are frequently employed in the engineering of building materials. However, the highly beneficial nature of using sugarcane fiber waste imbedded with concrete as a construction material may enhance the ductility and crack control of brittle concrete. This review summarized the effect of using sugarcane bagasse fibers in a several of concrete types and illustrated the significant leverage on the mechanical properties of concrete. Because of its biodegradable features and chemical components, sugarcane bagasse (SCB) has prompted a lot of attention as a promising and flexible component in composite materials. Material researchers have been motivated to develop "green" materials with low pollutant indices by the desire to discover low-cost strategies to lessen environmental effect. The three categories of sugarcane byproducts discovered and categorized were bagasse fiber, bagasse sand, and bagasse ash.
