Engineering and evaluation of hemp fibre reinforced polypropylene composites: Fibre treatment and matrix modification
(Elsevier, 2008)Hemp fibres were alkali treated to improve their suitability for use as reinforcements in composite materials. Improvements in tensile strength, Young’s modulus, fibre separation, crystallinity index, lignin reduction and ... -
Mechanical performance of Kraft fibre reinforced polypropylene composites: Influence of fibre length, fibre beating and hygrothermal ageing
(Elsevier, 2008)This paper describes the influence of fibre length, fibre beating and hygrothermal ageing on tensile strength (TS), Young’s modulus (YM), failure strain (FS) and impact strength (IS) of Kraft fibre reinforced polypropylene ... -
Reprocessing of wood fibre reinforced polypropylene composites. Part II: Hygrothermal ageing and its effects
(Elsevier, 2008)In this paper, hygrothermal ageing behaviour of virgin and reprocessed composites based on radiata pine (Pinus Radiata) wood fibre with a polypropylene (PP) matrix were investigated. Composites were produced with 40 wt% ...
