【 摘 要 】

Steam pre-treatment has been examined to sugarcane bagasse fibers (BF). Steam pressure plays an important role in the fibrillation process that is capable in dissolving fibers up to micron scale. Values of fiber diameter with steam pre-treatment (BFP) significantly decreased by 57%. Decrease of the size of fiber can increase the active area of bonding interaction between the fiber surface and the composite matrix. The investigation resulted in mechanical characteristics of unsaturated polyester composite matrix (UP) containing a filler of spent coffee grounds (SCG).When compared between UP-SCG-BF composites to UP-SCG-BF8, it has an increase in tensile strength and flexural strength by 53.57% respectively.
