Flexural, thermal and dynamic mechanical properties of date palm fibres reinforced epoxy composites (2019, background): “Research findings reported that an increment of fibre loading in composites can increases both the flexural strength of composites up to critical loading point [8,32,33].”
Studies on Mechanical and Morphological Characterization of Developed Jute/Hemp/Flax Reinforced Hybrid Composites for Structural Applications (2018, background): “…conducted on kenaf/phenol-formaldehyde composite, it was shown that the hardness of the composite increased linearly with increase in fiber loading up to 43 vol. % of kenaf fiber and the hardness of hybrid composite has increased continuously with increase in fiberfrax fiber loading (Ozturk 2010).”
Influence of fiber content on the mechanical and thermal properties of Kenaf fiber reinforced thermoplastic polyurethane composites (2012, background): “Good tensile strength depends more on effective and uniform stress distribution [29].”
Mechanical performance of woven kenaf-Kevlar hybrid composites (2014, background): “The impact properties of fibre composites are highly influenced by many factors, including interfacial bond strength, the matrix, and fibre.(31) The impact failure of a composite occurs by factors such as fibre/ matrix debonding, fibre and/or matrix fracture, and fibre pull-out.”
