Mechanical properties of oil palm shell composites

The mechanical properties of oil palm shell (OPS) composites were investigated with different volume fraction of OPS such as 0%, 10%, 20%, and 30% using unsaturated polyester (UPE) as a matrix.The results presented that the tensile strength and tensile modulus of the UPE/OPS composites increased as...
