Abstract
Abstract The present attempt is focused to investigate the outcome of charcoal particles loading on thermal properties of sisal composite. Sisal fibres were reinforced into epoxy matrix with a constant length (10 mm) and constant wt.% (30) to prepare the composites by hand lay-up method . Charcoal particles were homogeneously mixed into epoxy resin using magnetic stirrer at 1000 rpm with varying percentages (2, 4, 6, and 8). Thermal properties of prepared composites were analyzed using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) to measure the thermal stability and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) to measure the storage modulus, damping, loss modulus and glass transition temperature. The results showed a positive effect of incorporation of charcoal particles into epoxy on the thermal properties of sisal composites. In addition, thermal stability, glass transition temperature and storage modulus were also improved due to incorporation of charcoal particles.
