Abstract

Natural-fibre-reinforced polymer composites are most commonly employed in the automotive, aerospace and structural industries. This research focuses on the synthesis and analysis of the dynamic properties of a bamboo fibre used with a polyester matrix in a nanocomposite produced with titanium oxide nanoparticles. Bamboo-fibre samples were prepared using the electroless plating method in both their uncoated and nickel-phosphorus-coated states. Bamboo-fibre contents of (4.5, 9, 13.5 and 18) w/% and nanoparticles of (0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2) w/% with and without the coating were examined for these qualities. Coated bamboo fibres were mixed with 13.5 w/% and 1.5 w/% of titanium oxide. It was concluded that dynamic and thermomechanical properties of the polyester matrix reinforced with bamboo fibres coated with nanoparticles allow excellent bonding as compared to the nanocomposite of the polyester matrix reinforced with uncoated bamboo fibres.
