Description
Summary:Woodceramics is made from bamboo powder and epoxy resin. Analysis with X-ray diffraction (XRD) shows that with an increase in sintering temperature, the degree of graphitization increases. Scanning electron microscopic (SEM) analysis also indicates that bamboo powder exists in the composite as natural plant template. The study suggests that both sintering temperature and epoxy resin content have significant effects on its basic properties. Compressive strengths of woodceramics increase as sintering temperature rises but decrease as temperature rises to 1,000°C, and Young’s modulus rises along with higher resin content. Its density increases as sintering temperature rises but decreases as temperature rises further to 1,300°C. The apparent porosity tends to increase with increasing sintering temperature. In addition, elevation of resin content and sintering temperature can reduce electrical resistance, and sintering temperature has greater impact.
