Effects of Thermo-Mechanical Pretreatments on the Mechanical Properties of Kenaf Fiber Bundles and Kenaf Fiber-Reinforced Polypropylene
This study investigates the effects of thermal treatment, high-humidity exposure, and tensile loading during heating on the mechanical properties of kenaf fiber bundles and kenaf fiber-reinforced polypropylene (kenaf-PP) composites. Kenaf fiber bundles were thermally treated at 140, 160, 180, and 200 °C for one hour, a...
