Conclusion and Future Perspective

The chapter explored sugarcane world scenario, processing techniques, and also discussed the properties of bagasse fibers. Bagasse fibers extracted from sugarcane do not require very typical or complicated technical process. For the determination of physical properties like length of fibers Scion Image Software has also been dis­cussed in this chapter. The image method discussed in this chapter provides simple way for determination of bagasse fineness. The model used in this method can be used contrarily for evaluating the cross-sectional area when the fineness is known. The applications of bagasse fibers used in the various field were also discussed in this chapter. The other application of bagasse fiber is also found in composites making. It can be used as reinforcer in polymer matrix or concrete matrix compos­ites. These composites have good mechanical properties and can be used in house­hold, aircraft structures, and building structural applications.
