Development and evaluation of novel coupling agents for kenaf-fiber-reinforced unsaturated polyester composites

Creator:

Ren, Xiaofeng

Abstract:

Natural fibers are gaining popularity as reinforcement materials for thermoset resins over the last two decades. Natural fibers are inexpensive, abundant, renewable and environmentally friendly. Kenaf fibers are one of the natural fibers that can potentially be used for reinforcing unsaturated polyester (UPE). As a polymer matrix, UPE enjoys a...
