Tensile properties of short sisal fiber reinforced polystyrene composites
TL;DR: In this paper, the tensile properties of polystyrene reinforced with short sisal fiber and benzoylated sisal fibers were studied by using IR spectroscopy, and the properties were found to be almost independent of fiber length although the ultimate tensile strength shows marginal improvement at 10 mm fiber length.
