Investigating the Inherent Characteristic/Performance Deterioration Interactions of Natural Fibers in Bio-Composites for Better Utilization of Resources
Faris M. AL-Oqla,S.M. Sapuan +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the relationship between the inherent characteristics of natural fibers and their performance in composites is investigated and carried out for the first time to enhance the understanding of such interactions, and the possibility of using fibers with low moduli of elasticities to produce composites with much better tensile strengths comparable to costly fibers with high inherent tensile properties.
