Mechanical and physical properties of kenaf fibre reinforced thermoplastic elastomer composites

This research was conducted to study the physical properties, mechanical properties and scanning electron microscope studies of reinforced kenaf fibre with TPE. Generally, the tensile and flexural properties of kenaf reinforced composites, vary depending on the type of fibre, its orientation (random...
