Considering the excellent mechanical properties of the epoxy resin as the host polymer, our focus in this chapter is on the natural fiber-reinforced epoxy resin composites. For employing the natural fiber composite products for different applications, a full characterization of their mechanical properties is required. Regarding the various loading and environmental conditions that may be applied on the composites, time and temperature-dependent behavior of such composite structures should be clearly determined. Among various experimental, numerical, and analytical methods for investigating the mechanical properties of the composites as a function of time and temperature, dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) method has been extensively used by the researchers. According to the literature, for the epoxy-based natural fiber composites, in addition to the fiber type, volume fraction, and geometrical shape, the bonding properties between the reinforcing fibers and the surrounding epoxy polymer significantly affect the DMA parameters for the resulting natural composites. Therefore, extensive attempts have been done in order to modify the interfacial properties in the natural fiber composites. In the following chapter, the effective parameters on the DMA properties of the natural fiber composites are investigated by reviewing some previously published results on the subject.Read More
