The effect of flame retardant additive on the properties of kenaf/polyurethane foam composite
This research is mainly focused on the preparation and characterization of polyurethane foam (PUF) with the addition of kenaf fiber and flame retardants, which are expandable graphite (EG) and aluminum hydroxide (ATH). ... -
The effect of stearic acid treatment and calcium carbonate on properties of kenaf reinforced polyester composites
In this research, kenaf/unsaturated polyester and kenaf fiber/CaCO₃ polyester hybrid composites were fabricated using hand lay-up method. The effect of surface treatment of kenaf and CaCO₃ on the mechanical properties, ... -
Physical and mechanical properties of treated kapok fiber reinforced polyester composites
The composite of treated kapok fibre reinforced polyester resin was carried out by using five different compositions of filler to study the physical and mechanical properties of composite. The investigation of the effect ... -
