Abstract
In this study, the flexural behavior of sandwich bio-composites made of bio-composite laminates skins, cereal husk/gelatin biomass cores and cassava starch based adhesives were studied. The jute fabric-cereal husk sandwich bio-composites were preparing by manual layup method, the effects of skin layers, core type and core thickness on the flexural behavior were investigated. The experimental results showed that increasing the core thickness and skin layers can increase the ultimate load and flexural stiffness. The jute fabric-cereal husk sandwich bio-composites mainly included three failure modes: core shear/debonding, core shear and indentation. Overall, this study can provide a theoretical basis and data support for the novel sandwich bio-composites. The jute fabric-cereal husk sandwich bio-composites can be used in areas such as packaging materials, construction materials and furniture products.
