There is a dramatically surge in interest in environmentally materiais and technology in industrial sectors and composites derived from natural, renewable resources. Manhole covers, septic tanks, automotive parts and structural composite are widely made of fiberglass and steel which is expensive, cause harm to workers, abrasive to processing equipment and not environmentally friendly. So we need an alternative to replace the fiberglass to ether male rial which is greener, safer and at the same time offer high performance properties. Promoted as low-cost and low-weight (low density) alternatives to fiberglass, kenaf has signaled the start of a "green" composite industry with enormous potential. This hybrid biocomposite features an advanced FRP which hybrid the natural (Kenaf fibers) and glassfiber technology, remains the strength with lightest mass and safest processing can be used as reinforcement in cement concrete. The advanced ergonomic aspects of kenaf biocomposite are lightweight, high performance, less expensive and offer safety to workforce from injuries associated with heavy casting, ease of recycling and carbon dioxide neutrality (environmentally friendly). The hybrid biocomposite has signalled the start of eco-friendly composite industry with enormous benefits to environment, customer as well as workers. 2014-07-08T03:49:26Z 2014-07-08T03:49:26Z 2014-05 Other http://dspace.unimap.edu.my:80/dspace/handle/123456789/36085 en 25th International Invention, Innovation & Technology Exhibition; Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP) School of Manufacturing Engineering
