Abstract
Bamboo particles with the sizes of 0.12, 0.18 and 0.25 mm were compounded with polypropylene (PP) in dispersion mixer and then moulded into thermoplastic composite using a hot press. The effects of particle sizes (PS) on the mechanical and water absorption (WA) properties were analyzed statistically. This study shows that when the particle sizes increased, the tensile strength (TEN), flexural strength (MOR), flexural modulus (FMOE) significantly decreased. However, there was no significant effect on elongation. This study also indicated that an increase in bamboo particle sizes would improve the water absorption (WA) properties significantly.
