Morphology and flexural properties of biocomposites from Miscanthus × giganteus in polyester resin
The paper presents the study of polyester-based biocomposites with different amounts of Elephant Grass (Miscanthus × giganteus) particles. The influence of hot-water pre- treatment, amount and particle size of Miscanthus on the flexural properties and microstructure is analysed. SEM analysis shows the hot washing pre-treatment of Miscanthus fibres causes a porous fibre structure, and consequently lower mechanical properties. Composites with smaller fibres have shown higher flexural stiffness and strength as compared to the composites with larger fibres. The increase of the amount of fibres increased the significantly the flexural stiffness, while slightly reducing the flexural strength. The use of Miscanthus fibres as a filler in the polyester biocomposite materials would be appropriate.
