Partial replacement of glass fiber by woven kenaf in hybrid composites and its effect on monotonic and fatigue properties

Natural–synthetic fiber hybrid composites offer a combination of high mechanical properties from the synthetic fibers and the advantages of renewable fibers to produce a material with highly specific and determined properties. In this study, plain-woven kenaf/glass reinforced unsaturated polyester (...
