A study on the post impact and open hole tensile strength of kenaf and kenaf/fibreglass hybrid reinforced composite / Zuraidah Salleh

Natural fibres have emerged as the potential reinforcement material for composite structures and have gained interest by many researchers. Due to their light weight and low costs when compared with synthetic fibre. Kenaf fibres recently have been considered as a substitute material in many weight-cr...
