Morphological and Thermal Study of the Green Composites

Eulaliopsis binata fiber-reinforced polymer composites are more eco-friendly and cost effective compared to the traditional synthetic fiber-reinforced composites. The aim of the present work was to study the reinforcing potential of the Euiaiiopsis binata fibers in the short fiber form. The mechanical performance of these Euiaiiopsis binata fiber polymer composites was found to be higher than that of the pure polymer. However challenges still exist In further improving the mechanical properties of these composites to make them competitive to their synthetic counterparts.
