Processing and Properties of Biodegradable Composites to Strengthen Structures

Advantages of composite materials based on natural fibre have warranted increased utility of these products and have significantly offset the use of artificial fibre composites. This work on preparation of fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites has been carried out by utilizing naturally occurring fibres from sisal, jute, banana, and ramie plants. Two sets of FRP composites have been prepared (1) by chemical treatment and (2) without chemical...
