Abstract:Thermal properties and chemical performance of newly developed Thevetia peruviana oil-based (TPO) bio-composites with short sisal fibers reinforcement were studied in this research, with the aim of producing materials derived from renewable resources for engineering applications. Three sets of TPO composites (5C, 10C and 15C) reinforced with sisal fibers 5, 10 and 15 wt% respectively were produced by compression moulding method. Thermographic analyser (TGA) was used to determine the thermal behavior of the new… Show more
