Mechanical, Morphological, and Thermal Characterization of Compression-Molded Polymer Biocomposites

In the present communication, synthesis and characterization of short Saccaharum cilliare fiber reinforced resorcinol–formaldehyde (RF) polymer matrix-based composites through compression molding technique are reported. Experimental results reveal that when Saccaharum cilliare fibers are incorporated into the resorcinol–formaldehyde polymer matrix, mechanical properties such as tensile strength, compressive strength, flexural strength, and wear...
