Mechanical Properties of Fir Sawdust Composite Modified by Basalt Glass Powder

Abstract:

Fir sawdust panel was modified by basalt glass powder, in order to improve the stability during moisture sorption, durability under frequently wear, and fire resistance for working in high temperature conditions. The strengths of the modified panels were evaluated in this study. The maximum tensile 21.964MPa was reached when the weight fraction of basalt glass power was 15%, which was 86.58% stronger than the panel without basalt glass powder. When the content of basalt glass powder was 10%, the bending strength of the fir sawdust panel reached the maximum 37.9MPa, and was improved by 38.21%. However, the influence of the reinforcement to the elongation was negligible.
