Thermo-physical, thermal degradation, and flexural properties of betel nut husk fiber-reinforced vinyl ester composites

This study aims to investigate the thermo-physical, mechanical, and thermal degradation properties of betel nut husk (BNH) fiber reinforced vinyl ester (VE) composites. These properties were evaluated as a function of fiber maturity, fiber content, and fiber orientation. Thermo-physical properties w...
