Journal ArticleDOI
The effects of alkali-silane treatment on the tensile and flexural properties of short fibre non-woven kenaf reinforced polypropylene composites.
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of these chemical treatments on the tensile and flexural properties of the composites were investigated, and it was shown that alkali treatment followed by three-aminopropyltriethoxysilane treatment (alkali-silane treatment) significantly improved the tensil and flexur properties of short fibre non-woven kenaf polypropylene composites.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of processing conditions on the mechanical and water absorption properties of resin transfer moulded kenaf fibre reinforced polyester composite laminates.
TL;DR: In this paper, the mechanical and water absorption properties of kenaf fiber reinforced polyester laminates manufactured by resin transfer molding were investigated, and different processing conditions were considered as alternatives to fiber treatments, thereby avoiding additional cost and complexity in the manufacturing process.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of Processing Temperatures on Mechanical Properties and Microstructure of Squeeze Cast Aluminum Alloy Composites
TL;DR: In this article, the influence of melt and die temperatures on the squeeze cast silicon carbide particulate reinforced aluminum alloy composites was investigated. But the results revealed significant influence of both melt and dies on the mechanical properties.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of resin system on the mechanical properties and water absorption of kenaf fibre reinforced laminates
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented the Advanced Manufacturing Technology Strategy (AMTS) and the National Research Foundation (NRF)'s NRF-funded Centre of Excellence in Strong Materials (CEISM) at the University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa.
Journal ArticleDOI
Failures analysis of particle reinforced metal matrix composites by microstructure based models
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discussed the methodology of microstructure based elastic-plastic finite element analysis of particle reinforced metal matrix composites, which was used to predict the failure of two dimensional micro-structure models under tensile loading conditions.
