Material Characterization Of Roselle Fibre ( Hibiscus Sabdariffa L .)As Potential Reinforcement Material For Polymer Composites

Recently,in line with rising environmental concerns,n researchers are now replacing synthetic fibres with natural ones as the main component in composites.Natural fibres are preferred to synthetic fibres because of several advantages such as biodegradable,light weight, low cost and good mechanical p...
