Mechanical and thermal properties of short sugar palm (Arenga pinnata MERR.) fibre-reinforced high impact polystrene composites

The aim of this research is to investigate the effect of sugar palm fibre (SPF) on the mechanical, thermal and physical properties of seaweed/thermoplastic sugar palm starch agar

The addition of 10 to 30% by weight of short SPF has slightly decreased the tensile strength of short SPF-HIPS composites compared to neat HIPS (0% loading).. It can be seen that

(2000) stated that tensile properties of short-fibre- reinforced composites strongly depend on fibre length, fibre volume fraction, fibre dispersion, fibre orientation and

With these properties, it shows that treated woven sugar-palm fibre composite can withstand high stress load during operation compared to untreated fibres reinforced

The variations in the properties of the natural fibre reinforced composites (NFRC) as those of synthetic composite materials are affected by the type of fibre and resin that are

Figures 1 and 2 show the compressive and tensile strength of the alkalized treatment of ukam, banana, sisal, coconut, hemp and E-glass fibres. Compressive strength of
