Phenolic-based sugar palm fibres (SPFs) were used as a filler for composites that were fabricated by hot pressing. The composites were prepared using various volume loadings of SPFs. Dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) was carried out to evaluate the storage modulus (Eʹ), loss modulus (Eʺ), and tan de...
