Melt volume flow rate and melt flow rate of kenaf fibre reinforced Floreon/magnesium hydroxide biocomposites.
TL;DR: The complicated melt flow behaviour of the KF reinforced FLO/MH biocomposites was found in this study and there were more collisions for higher fibre and filler loading causing lower melt flow properties.
Thermal Stability, Dynamic Mechanical Analysis and Flammability Properties of Woven Kenaf/Polyester-Reinforced Polylactic Acid Hybrid Laminated Composites
TL;DR: In this paper , the thermal and flammability properties of woven kenaf/polyester-reinforced polylactic acid hybrid laminated composites were examined. And the effect of the hybridization of the composites on the thermal stability and viscoelastic properties of the laminates was demonstrated.
