Abstract
Fabrication conditions of natural fiber reinforced biodegradable composite (green composite) were investigated. Bamboo for reinforcement and biodegradable polymer from cornstarch were chosen. Various fabrication conditions were tested by tensile test and damping test. The experimental results showed that, the suitable conditions are, fiber weight fraction of 60% and fabrication temperature of 145℃ and pressure of 10MPa. The tensile strength of long fiber reinforced composite reaches to 100MPa, and chopped fiber reinforced ones showes good vibration damping feature.
