Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of chemical treatment on the tensile properties of short sisal fibre-reinforced polyethylene composites
TL;DR: The effect of chemical treatment on the tensile properties of sisal fiber-reinforced LDPE composites was investigated in this article, where various chemical treatments were carried out to improve the bonding at the fibre polymer interface.
Journal ArticleDOI
Coconut fibre reinforced polyethylene composites: effect of natural waxy surface layer of the fibre on fibre/matrix interfacial bonding and strength of composites
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of natural waxy surface layer of the fibre on fibre/matrix interfacial bonding and composite properties has been studied by single fibre pullout test and evaluating the tensile properties of oriented discontinuous fibre composites.
Journal ArticleDOI
Theoretical modelling of tensile properties of short sisal fibre-reinforced low-density polyethylene composites
TL;DR: In this paper, the experimentally observed tensile properties (tensile strength and modulus) of short sisal fiber-reinforced LDPE with different fibre loading have been compared with the existing theories of reinforcement.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of interfacial adhesion on the mechanical properties and fracture behaviour of short sisal fibre reinforced polymer composites

TL;DR: In this paper, the mechanical properties of sisal fiber composites of several thermoset resin matrices, [polyester, epoxy, phenol-formaldehyde] and a thermoplastic matrix [low density polyethylene (LDPE)] were evaluated with respect to fibre length and fibre loading.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity analyses of low-density polyethylene composites reinforced with sisal, glass and intimately mixed sisal/glass fibres
TL;DR: The thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity of sisal-reinforced polyethylene (SRP), GRP and sisal/glass hybrid fiber-reined polyethylenes (GSRP) has been evaluated at cryogenic to high temperature (120-350 K) as mentioned in this paper.
