Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanical properties of sisal/oil palm hybrid fiber reinforced natural rubber composites
TL;DR: The effects of concentration and modification of fiber surface in sisal/oil palm hybrid fiber reinforced rubber composites have been studied in this paper, where the rubber/fiber interface was improved by the addition of a resorcinol-hexamethylene tetramine bonding system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oil Palm Fibre Reinforced Phenol Formaldehyde Composites: Influence of Fibre Surface Modifications on the Mechanical Performance
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of fiber coating on the interface properties has also been investigated, including tensile and flexural performance of the composites and failure behavior of the failure behavior.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamical mechanical analysis of sisal/oil palm hybrid fiber‐reinforced natural rubber composites
TL;DR: In this paper, natural rubber was reinforced with sisal and oil palm fibers and was subjected to dynamic mechanical analysis to determine the dynamic properties as a function of temperature, which is due to the increased stiffness imparted by the natural fibers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Water sorption studies of hybrid biofiber-reinforced natural rubber biocomposites.
TL;DR: The mechanism of diffusion in the gum sample was found to be Fickian in nature, while in the loaded composites, it was non-Fickian, and the effect of chemical modification on moisture uptake was also analyzed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Natural rubber composites reinforced with sisal/oil palm hybrid fibers: Tensile and cure characteristics
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of fiber length on the mechanical properties of rubber composites reinforced with sisal/oil palm hybrid fibers were studied, and the extent of fiber alignment and the strength of the fiber-rubber interface adhesion were analyzed from the anisotropic swelling measurements.
