3005 Fabrication and Characterization of Loofah Fiber/Lignin Composite by Hot Pressing
Details
Aloofah fiber reinforced lignin composite was fabricated to develop a new green composite material. The composite was fabricated using hot pressing method. As the fabrication conditions of the composite, two molding pressure conditions of 16.7MPa and 41.7MPa were chosen for the fabrication at a temperature of 150℃. Bending test was carried out to evaluate the mechanical property. Bending modulus of the green composite increases as the volume fraction of loofah fiber decreases. As a result, it is seen that the bendability of composite plate is improved.
