| Abstract Scope |
The natural and biodegradable characteristics of sugarcane bagasse (SCB) make it a promising ingredient for composite materials. Researchers have explored ecological and low-cost materials, identifying SCB as a green option with low pollution levels. This study investigates the strategic position for SCB and epoxy composite when applied as high-performance coatings. Epoxy resin is valued for its adhesion, strength and durability. Integrating sustainable, cost-effective reinforcements is vital for enhancing these properties and reducing environmental impact. SCB, a sugar industry waste, has favorable characteristics like fibrous structure and polymer compatibility. In this research, SCB residue was processed and incorporated into epoxy resin. A Blue Ocean Strategy analysis identified new market opportunities, positioning this composite as a sustainable, high-performance solution in coatings. It´s relevant to point that SCB could offer substantial improves on corrosion resistance, offering a sustainable alternative with competitive performance and cost. |
