| Research Abstract |
To improve the physical and mechanical properties of bamboo fiber/polymer composites, the addition of cellulose nanofiber (CNF) on formulations was studied. The composites were prepared by injecting molding with a basic composition of equivalent amounts of bamboo fiber and polymer, and the melting fluidity of the compounds, tensile strength, and tensile modulus of the composites were determined. When evaluating the compatibility between bamboo fiber and plastic using CNF, positive effects were noted for water resistance, melting fluidity, and tensile modulus. Overall, a novel positive property (increased tensile modulus) and an increased water resistance were observed after CNF addition.
