Abstract
Wood fibre composites are forging a place in the industrial and commercial market as a replacement for timber products. Although many of these products are produced from recycled materials, fully sustainable products are in limited use. The following document details an investigation into the viability of sugarcane bagasse as a fibre additive in the production of hardwood replacement products. The investigation is initiated with the use of LDPE and LLDPE polymers as the matrix material to review the affects of the bagasse in varying percentage weight composites. The affects of the bagasse content have been reviewed using mechanical testing processes.
