TL;DR: In this paper, a wood plastic composite manufactured from recycled polypropylene/polyethylene (r-PP/PE) blend reinforced with kenaf fiber was presented, which was tested for flexural and impact tests followed by thermal and morphological analyses.

TL;DR: In this article, the mechanical properties of composite materials with different types of natural fibre and various fibre compositions were investigated, and the results demonstrated that the tensile strength and flexural strength of pineapple leaf fibre (PALF)-based composites were 7.83% and 54.23% higher than kenaf-based composite materials at a fibre content of 30.

TL;DR: The use of polymer-based composites has been gaining popularity in the industry over the last few decades as mentioned in this paper and their high strength to weight ratio and high fatigue resistance make these composites the...

TL;DR: In this paper, three types of calcium precursors (nitrate, hydroxide and catbonate) were used in the synthesis of carbonated hydroxyapatite (cHA) using a precipitation method via a chemical reaction with di-ammonium hydrogen phosphate as the phosphate precursor.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of alkaline treatment and use of different fiber length on the mechanical performance of pineapple leaf fibers reinforced poly lactic acid, biocomposites were investigated.
