Abstract

This experiment sought to determine the impact of adding Vitis vinifera stalk cellulose (VSC) to epoxy resin composites reinforced with Bambusa vulgaris fiber (BVF). The mechanical, dynamic mechanical (DMA), and fatigue properties of epoxy composites made with VSC and BVF were also the focus of this work. The laminates were created using the hand layup method, and they were each given an ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) rating. The mechanical properties show that for 5.0 vol.% of BVF and 50 vol.% of bamboo fiber composite PCB3 (epoxy + bamboo + grape stalk cellulose), the increment in values for tensile strength and modulus, flexural strength and modulus, Izod impact as well as hardness maximum up to 167 MPa, 6.26 GPa, 187 MPa, 6.53 GPa, 5.77 J, and 92 shore-D, respectively. Similarly, the storage modulus, loss factor, and fatigue life count of composite “EB” (epoxy + bamboo) were all enhanced by about 2.96 GPa, 0.58, and 19,238, respectively, with the addition of BVF by 50 vol.%. For the composite designator “PCB3,” the highest reported storage modulus and lowest loss factor were respectively 4.18 GPa and 0.38, while the highest observed fatigue life counts were 34,842. These composite materials, which have outstanding mechanical strength, thermal stability, and fatigue life, could be used in a variety of industrial, automotive, sporting goods, and domestic applications in addition to the military, sports, and automobile industries.
