Abstract

Synthesize of a thermosetting resin based cardanol from cashew nut shell liquid (CSNL) using poly condensation process as composite matrix was carried out. Locally collected sugarcane bagasse fiber was dried in an oven to remove the moisture content. These fibers were then cut into specific average length of 10 mm and 20 mm and made into two different sets of cardanol based bio-composites of varying concentration of 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20 % by compression moulding process. The mechanical properties were evaluated by means of tensile, flexural and impact in addition to water absorption test. Results had shown the enhancement of the mechanical properties with increase in range of bagasse fiber upto 15 weight % in both the sets. Of the two sets, 20 mm length fiber possesses more strength comparatively.
