Abstract |
This study investigated the thermal characteristics for organic thermal insulation materials developed from single-layer particleboard from bamboo-waste and analyzed concerning fire retardant ability. The Differential Scanning Calorimetry conducted the precise heat capacity extent (DSC), Pyrolysis Combustion Flow Calorimeter and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) are utilized to characterize the materials. The exothermal value was observed in all of the DSC curves with a high middle part content up to an average of 13.65 mW. Beyond that consideration, the bottom and top part specimen are two comparable value with smaller exothermic peaks appeared. SEM of unidirectional fiber causes the bamboo to have strength in the direction of bamboo fibers. Cellulose for middle part had the highest quantity of carbon. Interfacial adhesion using epoxy resin (C21H25C105) of the material is effectively enhanced after the surface modification of the fiber. Pyrolysis assessment reveals that the primary stage at 68-89°C is the exothermic dehydration of the biomass with the release of water and low-molecular-weight gases like CO and CO2. Thermal analysis shows that the increment of heat distortion temperature can reach 3410C, and the thermal stability is significantly improved. Conclusively, Philippine bamboo as green composites materials does not only have quality thermal and mechanical properties but also have a good flame retardant ability. Language: en |
