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 ...
Polycard: Moulded part from natural fibre by carding technique
(Universiti Teknologi MARA, Kedah, 2010-07-28)
About 55 billion of coconuts are harvested annually in the world. Only 15% of the coir fibers are actually recovered for use. Most coir are abondoned in the nature, this is a waste of natural resources and a course of ...
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 ...
