Effect of fique fibers and its processing by-products on morphology, thermal and mechanical properties of epoxy based biocomposites

Abstract This work examines the morphology, mechanical and thermal properties of biocomposites based on epoxy resin-EP and fique (Furcraea andina), a native crop of South America. The EP-fique biocomposites were prepared using fique powder-FP an industrial waste generated during fique processing, no...
