| Abstract Scope |
In search of sustainable alternatives for high-performance cycling, this study explores the development of a biodegradable bottle holder using natural ramie fiber and epoxy resin. The ramie fiber, selected for its excellent mechanical properties and low cost, was subjected to tensile and density tests to determine the ideal diameter range for producing the composite. The combination of the natural fiber with the epoxy resin aims to create a lightweight, resistant support that meets the demands of high-performance cycling, without compromising the environment. The research demonstrates the potential of ramie fiber as a raw material for the production of innovative and sustainable components in the world of cycling. |
