Epoxy polymer composites reinforced using Caryota biofiber: fiber characterization, mechanical performance, and tribological behavior
Abstract In this study, the potential of a novel Caryota (CY) biofiber as a reinforcement for epoxy-based polymer composites was systematically evaluated. The fiber was characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Fourier transform infr...
