Abstract:Spray coating and vacuum-assisted resin infusion processes were implemented in this work to develop multifunctional biocomposite laminates. The biocomposites were fabricated using a bio-based epoxy resin reinforced with natural sisal fibers coated with graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs). A systematic characterization of material properties was performed to evaluate the mechanical, thermomechanical, electrical, and piezoresistive behavior of biocomposites with different GNPs contents (0, 1, 4, 6, and 8 wt.%).
