Influence of additional coupling agent on the mechanical properties of polyester-Agave cantala roxb based composites

The mechanical and morphological properties of the unsaturated polyester resins (UPRs)-Agave cantala roxb based composite are investigated in this paper. The cantala fiber woven in 3D angle interlock was utilized as the composite reinforcement. Surface grafting of the cantala fiber through chemical...
