A comparative study on mechanical properties of carbon and Kenaf composites via vacuum infusion technique

The growth of polymer-based composites from either synthetic or natural fibres, especially carbon and kenaf fibres as reinforcement, has gained major interest in many pieces of research. However, only a little attention has been made that compared the mechanical performances of these developed compo...
