Abstract

Biocomposites were produced using a biodegradable material as matrix, and sisal fibers as reinforcement. The biodegradable material is a commercial product called MaterBi-Y, which is based on a cellulose derivatives and starch system. The characterization of these biocomposites was not done before a...
