Synthesis and Characterization of Bio-Composite

Abstract

Eco-friendly biodegradable bio-composites were prepared using sisal fiber and starch using handmade mould. XRD patterns confirm that degree of crystallinity decrease with the increase in reinforcing material.SEM image says roughness surface structure of composites. FTIR study confirms that the composites are dewaxed and H2O content is decreased. DSC scan confirms that the glass transition temperature of bio-composites is decreased with the increasing in concentration of reinforcing material.
