Fabrication of Composite Materials via Hot-pressing

A hand lay-up technique followed by compression molding was adopted for composite fabrication. The netted luffa (L) mat and non-woven coir (C) fibers of 1 cm length were used in the preparation of hybrid composites. ENR was impregnated into fiber within a mold cavity (dimensions 100 mm 100 mm 5 mm). In each formulated composite, the
