Abstract
Sugarcane waste collected from Dakahlia governorate. Sugarcane waste washed using ordinary tap water to eliminate extra sugar. Obtained material dried in oven regulated at 50oC for about 24h. Dried samples classified into three main parts (internal, external, total)Internal represent fibrous tissues in side sugarcane (pith)External represent the outer surface of sugarcane (rind)Total is a mixture of both internal and external ports (mix).These polymers were added in different concentrations with the three parts of the sugarcane (SBP), (SBR) and (SB) at (50:50) and (60:40) ratios separately and placed in a 9.7 cm circular disk which inserted into the heat press at temperature 170 oC for samples containing PVC and at a temperature of 160 oC for samples containing PE then placed at a pressure (3750 MPa) and finally left inside the piston for (40) minutes. By performing the same steps on the rest of the parts we get 12 discs. XRD of pith, rind, and total SB reveal similarity between that obtained other studied wood like waste. Obtained data reveals a semi-crystalline nature of cellulous, hemicellulos and lignin present in the structure. Also XRD shows of PE and PVC indicate the amorphous structure and semi-crystalline structure respectively. ATR-FTIR of studied composite samples reveals physical interactions constituent materials (pith, rind, SB, with PE and PVC). The results of measuring the hardness of the samples showed that the samples made of polyvinyl chloride have a higher hardness than the samples containing polyethylene. The results of measuring the density of the samples showed that adding sugar cane residues to the polymer decreased the polymer density, that the density of the samples was less than the density of water and that the density of the samples containing polyvinyl chloride was higher than that containing polyethylene due to the high density of polyvinyl chloride. Swelling behavior was found to effected by time of immersion and type of immersion media (acidic, alkaline or natural). Samples containing 60% PE is recommended to be used in different application according to their stability agains different media.
