Optimizing processing parameters and fiber size for kenaf fiber reinforced thermoplastic polyurethane composite

In this study, composite of Themoplastic polyurethane (TPU) reinforced with short fiber (Hibiscus Cannabinus) kenaf (KF) were prepared via melt blending method using Haake Polydrive R600 internal mixer. Effect of various processing temperatures, times and speeds on tensile strength was studied, toge...
