Abstract

In day to day life, people use various panel products and components made up of a variety of materials such as plastic and metals. But these materials are non renewable and also create environmental problems. Hence alternative materials produced from renewable resources, which are having better strength and other desirable properties are in demand. Epoxy resin having good mechanical, thermal and electrical properties is widely used as an engineering material. In the present study, epoxy resin system was used for bamboo strip composite bonding. Epoxy adhesive was synthesized from epichorohydrin and Cardanol modified phenolic resin with an optimized molar ratio of 1:10. Three layered bamboo strip composites have developed using epoxy adhesive. The panels were evaluated for the physical and mechanical properties as per relevant Indian standard. The results indicate that epoxy resin bonded bamboo composites yield better strength properties and meets the requirements.
