In the present work morphology of natural fibers was correlated with their mechanical properties via image analysis. Jute, sisal, curaua, coir and piassava were tested under direct tension in a universal testing machine cross-sectional areas calculated using images obtained scanning electron microscopy. For jute fiber tests performed for several gage lengths order to investigate its influence on tensile strength compute compliance. curaua amount fiber-cells, size cell walls real area...
Abstract Plant fibers are of increasing interest for use in composite materials. They renewable resources and waste management is easier than with glass fibers. In the present study, longitudinal stiffness strength as well morphology unidirectional sisal–epoxy composites manufactured by resin transfer molding (RTM) were studied. Horseshoe‐shaped sisal fiber bundles (technical fibers) nonuniformly distributed matrix. contrast to many wood composites, lumen was not filled polymer Technical...
