Comparison of harakeke with hemp fibre as a potential reinforcement in composites
(Elsevier, 2014-12-01)The objective of this study was to characterize the performance of untreated and chemically treated harakeke fibre (a leaf fibre from a plant native to New Zealand) and compare with hemp fibre to assess its use as potential ... -
Comparison of strength and Young modulus of aligned discontinuous fibre PLA composites obtained experimentally and from theoretical prediction models
(Elsevier, 2019)The present paper describes work carried out to compare the strength performance of PLA reinforced aligned discontinuous harakeke and hemp fibre mat composites evaluated experimentally and using various simple elastic ... -
Fibre orientation of novel dynamically sheet formed discontinuous natural fibre PLA composites
(Elsevier, 2016)This paper describes work carried out to fabricate and to assess the fibre orientation in PLA reinforced by aligned discontinuous harakeke and hemp fibre mats produced using a dynamic sheet former (DSF). These mats were ... -
Preparation and mechanical properties of novel bio-composite made of dynamically sheet formed discontinuous harakeke and hemp fibre mat reinforced PLA composites for structural applications
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2016-06-01)The objective of this study was to fabricate and assess the structure and mechanical performance of PLA reinforced by aligned discontinuous alkali treated natural fibre mats. The novel aspect of this work was in terms of ... -
A review of recent developments in natural fibre composites and their mechanical performance
(Elsevier, 2015-01-01)Recently, there has been a rapid growth in research and innovation in the natural fibre composite (NFC) area. Interest is warranted due to the advantages of these materials compared to others, such as synthetic fibre ...
