Improvement in mechanical properties of reinforced thermoplastic elastomer composite with kenaf bast fibre
This paper report on the development of thermoplastic elastomer composite reinforced with 20 vol.% kenaf fibre. Two types of impact modifier were blended with polypropylene (PP) namely; thermoplastic natural rubber (TPNR) and polypropylene/ethylene–propylene–diene–monomer (PP/EPDM). Both composites...
