Effect of Manufacturing Processes on the Loss Factor and Other Mechanical Properties of Kenaf Fiber-Reinforced Composites

Kenaf fibers have mechanical properties making them a good candidate to replace glass fibers in composites. This research investigates kenaf fiber-reinforced composites, examining the effect of cure time, density, matrix hardener ratio, surface treatment, and fiber length on the mechanical propertie...
