摘要: Abstract Natural fiber reinforced composites have attracted interest due to their numerous advantages such as biodegradability, dermal non-toxicity and with promising mechanical strength. The desire mitigate climate change greenhouse gas emissions, biodegradable resins are explored the best forms of polymers for apart from synthetic counterparts which non-renewable. In this study bark cloth green epoxy developed view application automotive instrument panels. optimum curing temperature was shown be 120 °C. static properties showed a tensile strength 33 MPa flexural 207 MPa. dynamic properties, frequency sweep excellent fiber-matrix bonding alkali treated fabric polymer glass transition in range 160 °C–180 °C. Treatment positively influenced biocomposites.
