Effect of Kenaf Fibre Layers on Mechanical and Thermal Properties of Kenaf/Unsaturated Polyester Composites
(IOP Publishing, 2018)Composites of kenaf/unsaturated polyester containing 1layer up to 4 layers of kenaf fibre were studied to evaluate the mechanical and thermal properties. These composites were compared with a control system containing ... -
Effect of kenaf fibre Mat layers and Zinc Oxide Nanoparticle Concentration on the Mechanical and Thermal Properties of ZnONPs/kenaf/polyester Composites
(IOP Publishing, 2018)Zinc oxide nanoparticle kenaf polyester composite (ZnONPs/kenaf/polyester) containing 1, 2, 3 and 4 layers of kenaf fibre treated with 40nm 2% (w/w) and 5 % (w/w ) of ZnONPs were prepared and characterised to evaluate ... -
The flexural and impact properties of kenaf-polypropylene composites filled with montmorillonite filler
(Taylor and Francis Group, LLC., 2012-01)Kenaf- Polypropylene composites filled with montmorillonite (MMT) filler were produced. The incorporation of MMT had improved the flexural and impact properties. Addition of compatibilizer, had improved the flexural and ... -
Ultra-violet radiation-cured biofiber composites from kenaf: The effect of montmorillonite on the flexural and impact properties
(Taylor & Francis, 2010-04)Biofiber composites, cured by ultra-violet (UV) radiation were produced using kenaf fibers as the reinforcing agent and unsaturated polyester as the matrix. This research work focused on the effects of the incorporation ... -
Unsaturated polyester-kenaf composites: The effects of a modified montmorillonite filler on the tensile properties
(Taylor & Francis Group, LLC., 2010-06)This study has been embarked to use the nanofiller to compensate the adverse effect of the lignocellulosic filler. Unsaturated polyester-kenaf composites filled with various types of MMT filler were produced. The study ...
