Fire and thermal resistance properties of chemically treated ligno-cellulosic coconut fabric–reinforced polymer eco-nanocomposites:

TLDR
In this paper, the authors aimed to develop naturally woven coconut sheath/polyester biocomposites and used montmorillonite nanoclay (5 wt%) as a second filler.
Abstract
The present work was aimed to develop naturally woven coconut sheath/polyester biocomposites. In these composites, montmorillonite nanoclay (5 wt%) was used as a second filler. The heat releasing r...
