Processing and Dielectric Properties of Bio-fiber Reinforced Polymer Composite Using Brown Grass Flower Broom

Abstract

Abstract

A novel low-cost polymer composite using brown grass flower broom reinforcement is prepared. From the physico-mechanical characterization, it is found that the prepared composite is lightweight and of high strength. Investigation of dielectric behavior of this polymer composite proves its efficiency as a high-value marketable product. As the composite is made using bio-materials from local resources, its cost is less as compared to other polymer composites available today.
