Enhancement of Physical and Mechanical Properties of Sugar Palm Fiber via Vacuum Resin Impregnation

Abstract: A study on the eff ects of elevating impregnation pressure on the physical and mechanical properties of sugar palm fi ber with phenol formaldehyde (PF) and unsaturated polyester (UP) with a constant impregnation time of 5 minutes are presented in this chapter. A signifi cant increase in the weight percentage gain of sugar palm fi bers was observed aft er impregnation under pressure with PF and UP in the ranges of 8.59 to 38.59% and 7.16 to 22.63%, respectively. Other fi ndings showed that the fi ber moisture c… Show more

“…Furthermore, it is usually weaker than tensile strength. As a result, this mechanical property is important for improving flax biocomposites [8]. Fibre volume fraction, fibre and matrix characteristics, interface bond strength, porosity and fibre misalignment are contributing factors that might influence the behaviour of composite materials.…”
