Influence of Fabrication Methods and Kenaf Fiber Length

3 Influence of Fabrication Methods and Kenaf Fiber Length [Pg.69]

Biocomposites from kenaf fiber and soy based polymers have been fabricated by extrusion, followed by injection or compression molding (26). It turned out that compression molded specimens have a similar modulus in comparison to injection molded specimens [Pg.69]

These improvements are explained by an increase in the modulus at high temperature and also by fiber bridging effects. [Pg.70]

Further, the modulus, impact strength, and the heat deflection temperature of the fiber reinforced biocomposites increase with the fiber length, the fiber content and the orientation of the fibers. [Pg.70]

The fractured fiber length on an impact fracture surface increases with increasing fiber length and fiber content. This finding suggests that the role of fiber bridging effects is predominant on the impact strength of the biocomposites (26). [Pg.70]
