Abstract

This study presents the development of a vinyl ester-based composite reinforced with bagasse microfibers and biocarbon derived from Moringa oleifera husks, aimed at enhancing mechanical properties, dielectric permittivity, and EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) shielding effectiveness for potential applications in electric vehicle systems. First the biomass extracted biocarbon was prepared by under slow pyrolysis technique. The composite fabrication was carried out using a hand layup method with careful mixing of biocarbon from Moringa oleifera husks and uniform dispersion of bagasse microfibers, ensuring enhanced composite performance.Further, to evaluate their performance, as per ASTM standard the composite specimen is cut under abrasive water jet machine. Based on the result obtained, the composite specimen, VB2, with 2 vol.% biocarbon and 40 vol.% bagasse microfibre, exhibited superior tensile strength (135 MPa), flexural strength (155 MPa), and hardness (83 Shore-D), due to optimal filler-matrix interaction and effective stress transfer. Dielectric permittivity was also highest for VB2, reaching 6.1 at 8 GHz, and maintaining higher values across other frequencies, indicating strong interfacial polarization. For EMI shielding, VB2 achieved the highest total shielding effectiveness of 31.5 dB at 8 GHz and 68.25 dB at 18 GHz, driven by the combined effects of enhanced absorption and reflection through synergistic filler effects. SEM analysis confirmed that VB2 had a uniform dispersion of fillers, minimizing voids and agglomerations, which is crucial for maximizing mechanical strength and electromagnetic shielding. The sustainable use of natural fibers and biocarbon also highlights the environmental benefits of this composite for automotive applications, such as battery temperature control and wireless charging in E-vehicles.

辣木壳生物碳与甘蔗渣微纤维增韧乙烯基电动汽车微波屏蔽复合材料的研究
本研究介绍了一种乙烯基酯基复合材料的开发,该复合材料由甘蔗渣微纤维和从辣木壳中提取的生物碳增强,旨在提高电动汽车系统的机械性能、介电常数和电磁干扰屏蔽效能。首先采用慢速热解技术制备生物质提取物。复合材料的制备采用手工铺层法,将辣木壳中的生物碳与甘蔗渣微纤维均匀分散混合,确保了复合材料的性能。为了评价复合材料的性能,按照ASTM标准,在磨料水射流机上切割复合材料试样。结果表明,含有2体积%生物碳和40体积%甘蔗渣微纤维的复合材料VB2具有优异的抗拉强度(135 MPa)、抗弯强度(155 MPa)和硬度(83 Shore-D),这是由于填料与基体的最佳相互作用和有效的应力传递。VB2的介电常数也最高,在8 GHz达到6.1,在其他频率保持较高的值,表明界面极化强。对于EMI屏蔽,VB2在8 GHz和18 GHz的总屏蔽效率最高,分别为31.5 dB和68.25 dB,这是由于通过协同填充效应增强吸收和反射的共同作用。SEM分析证实,VB2具有均匀分散的填料,最大限度地减少了空洞和团聚,这对于最大化机械强度和电磁屏蔽至关重要。天然纤维和生物碳的可持续使用也凸显了这种复合材料在汽车应用中的环境效益,例如电动汽车的电池温度控制和无线充电。
