Packaging material from bamboo fibre with epoxy resin

05 June 2018

Researchers at the Mar Athanasius College of Engineering in India developed packaging material from bamboo fibre with epoxy resin and evaluated its mechanical performance characteristics. A quality analysis of the material was carried out and was compared with conventional materials.
They found that this novel composite shows better yield characteristics under varying conditions as compared to conventional packaging materials like paper, plastics and cardboards. The developed composite is water repellent and hence it is effective for packaging perishable goods. An article about the research is published in International Research Journal of Engineering and Technology (IRJET).
