| Summary: | The study reviewed crucial parameters in the compression molding process for biocomposites affecting the properties of short
natural fiber-reinforced polymer composites. The evaluation of drying and compounding processes between the polymer and
short natural fiber was an essential consideration before the compression molding of biocomposites. Meanwhile, the parameters
of molding temperature, compression pressure, and duration appeared to be other crucial and significant considerations requiring
attention. In this study, all significant considerations affecting the performance of biocomposites were highlighted to provide
essential information in the compression molding process of natural fiber composites topic. The findings from the present study
are expected to improve the performance of short natural fiber-reinforced polymer composites and be an alternative to conven�tional polymer in various engineering applications in the future |
