Mechanical properties of sugar palm yarn/woven glass fiber reinforced unsaturated polyester composites: effect of fiber loadings and alkaline treatment

In this paper, hybrid sugar palm yarn and glass fiber reinforced unsaturated polyester composites were investigated in relation to the effects of fiber loadings and alkaline treatment on the composite mechanical properties, such as tensile, flexural, impact and compression strength. The composites w...
