Dynamic Mechanical Properties of a Biocomposite Reinforced with Sodiumbicarbonate-Treated Sisal Fibers at Different Frequencies

The effect of different frequencies on the glass-transition temperature, storage and loss moduli, and damping of untreated and sodium bicarbonate-treated sisal fibers reinforced biocomposites have been analyzed in the temperature range of 30-160°C. In addition, tensile and flexural properties of these composites were also studied as per ASTM standards. On the basis of the results obtained, it is concluded that the treated biocomposites can be...
