Abstract
In this study , Effect of nano cellulose Fiber gel bacteria as reinforcer on physical, mechanical and morphological properties of composites made of bagasse and cement has been studied. Nano variable factors in three levels (0, 1 and 3 % by weight of cement), the mixing ratio of bagasse as lignocellulosic material with Portland cement, in three levels (90:10, 80:20, 70:30%) was equal to the dry weight of cement. The target density 1.1 g/cm3 and 5% calcium chloride for all treatments were considered as Fixed factors. The mechanical and physical properties of composites includes modulus of rupture, modulus of elasticity, internal bonding, thickness swelling after 2 h and 24 h immersion in water and density of boards were measured according to the standard DIN-EN-634. In this study, to investigate the morphological properties of composites and how to distribute Nano, microscopic images (SEM) were taken from the broken cross-section of the samples. The results showed that boards made with nano fiber cellulose had more modulus of rupture, modulus of elasticity and internal bonding. The results also showed that with increasing nano, density, dimensional stability of the boards and heat hydration of cement mortar increased. The results from microscopic imaging (SEM) showed that cellulose nanofiber can fill the pores of the composite and create a uniform structure, thus improved the strength of the boards.
