Composites from Sawdust–Rice Husk Fibers

Sawdust waste and rice-husk fibers, which are lignocellulosic materials, were assessed in terms of their fiber-matrix adhesion and dispersion in composites. Different types of adhesives were used. The mechanical and water absorption properties were investigated. Overall, for the produced composites, the incorporation of phenol-formaldehyde resin into sawdust–rice husk ethylene vinyl acetate composite resulted in the best mechanical properties. The superior reinforcing characteristics of phenol-formaldehyde resin were shown by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), which revealed better fiber-matrix adhesion. Water absorption tests revealed that the presence of the adhesives affected the amount of water absorbed.
