Production and Characterization of Bamboo Fibre Reinforced PVC Composites

Since many years, efforts have been made to find ways to make natural fibre compatible enough with its matrix. The interest of using natural fibre reinforced polymer composites is growing rapidly due to their low cost and high performance in term of mechanical properties and thermal stability. In th...

The interest of using natural fibre reinforced polymer composites is growing rapidly due to their low cost and high performance in term of mechanical properties and thermal stability.
