Hybrid Composites Made from Oil Palm Empty Fruit Bunches/Jute Fibres: Water Absorption, Thickness Swelling and Density Behaviours
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the effect of jute fiber hybridization and different layering pattern on the physical properties of oil palm EFB-Epoxy composites water absorption and thickness swelling test reveal that hybrid composite shows a moderate water absorption.
Journal ArticleDOI
Degradation of dynamic mechanical properties of pultruded kenaf fiber reinforced composites after immersion in various solutions
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of water absorption behavior on the dynamic mechanical properties of pultruded kenaf fiber reinforced composites (PKRC) was investigated by immersing PKRC specimens into three different conditions at room temperature for a period of 24 weeks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Degradation of compressive properties of pultruded kenaf fiber reinforced composites after immersion in various solutions
TL;DR: In this article, the water absorption behavior of pultruded kenaf fiber reinforced unsaturated polyester composites was investigated and residual compressive properties of the composites after immersion were also reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Properties of Banana and Pandanus Woven Fabric Reinforced Unsaturated Polyester Composites
TL;DR: In this paper, the properties of unsaturated polyester reinforced with banana and pandanus woven fabric were investigated as a function of total fiber volume fraction, and it was observed that the flexural and impact properties of both natural fiber composites are higher than pure polyester.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of Chemical Surface Modifications on the Properties of Woven Banana-Reinforced Unsaturated Polyester Composites
TL;DR: In this paper, chemical surface modifications involving 1% sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and 1% acrylic acid (AA) treatments are applied to woven banana fabric and it is used as reinforcement in an unsaturated polyester matrix.
