The effect of nano-particles of TiO2 on the mechanical and thermal properties of sugarcane bagasse (SCB)–ethylene co-vinyl acetate (EVA) composite was investigated. Composite materials were prepared using a melt-mix intercalation method on a rheomex mixer coupled with a single screw extruder. differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), thermogravimetric (TG) analyser and an Instron, were used to probe the thermal and mechanical properties of the samples. Composites with TiO2 were compared with those without TiO2 but with the same content of sugarcane bagasse (SCB). After the addition of TiO2, the tensile strength increased by 10%, from 11.26 MPa for neat EVA, which correlated with the enthalpy of fusion, however, the tensile strength decreased by 18% at higher SCB loading. Elongation at break decreased from 463 to 0% as the filler (SCB) was increased which was inversely proportional to the modulus. The composite showed an improved thermal stability with the addition of TiO2.
