Analysis of mechanical properties of hemp fibre reinforced unsaturated polyester composites
(Sage, 2013)Different chemically treated hemp fibre reinforced unsaturated polyester composites were investigated over a range of fibre content (0–60 wt%). Although Young’s modulus of all the short fibre reinforced unsaturated polyester ... -
Characterisation of hemp fibre reinforced Poly(Lactic Acid) composites
(Inderscience Enterprises, 2009)In this work, the mechanical properties including tensile strength, flexural strength, impact strength and fracture toughness of the PLA/hemp composites were investigated over a range of fibre content (0-30 wt.%). It was ... -
Effect of fibre treatments on interfacial shear strength of hemp fibre reinforced polylactide and unsaturated polyester composites
(Elsevier, 2011)Surface treatment of hemp fibres was investigated as a means of improving interfacial shear strength (IFSS) of hemp fibre reinforced polylactide (PLA) and unsaturated polyester (UPE) composites. Fibres were treated with ... -
Effect of various chemical treatments on the fibre structure and tensile properties of industrial hemp fibres
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2011)Industrial hemp fibres were treated with sodium hydroxide, acetic anhydride, maleic anhydride and silane to investigate the influence of treatment on the fibre structure and tensile properties. It was observed that the ... -
Flexural properties of hemp fibre reinforced polylactide and unsaturated polyester composites
(Elsevier, 2011)In this work, flexural strength and flexural modulus of chemically treated random short and aligned long hemp fibre reinforced polylactide and unsaturated polyester composites were investigated over a range of fibre content ...
