Hybrid biocomposites with enhanced thermal and mechanical properties for structural applications

ABSTRACT The current work focuses on enhancing the mechanical and thermal properties of sisal fiber reinforced composites that were previously used in developing interior automotive trims. In order to extend their use in other structural applications, two hybrid biocomposites with the combination of sisal (SF) and glass fiber (GF)‐SF20/GF10 and SF10/GF20 were blended with polypropylene via extrusion and injection molding process.
