Polyester-Kenaf Composites: Effects of Alkali Fiber Treatment and Toughening of Matrix Using Liquid Natural Rubber

In this study, polyester-kenaf fiber composites were prepared by adding various percentages of kenaf fiber in unsaturated polyester resin and subsequently cross-linked using methyl ethyl ketone peroxide and the accelerator cobalt octanoate. Liquid natural rubber (LNR) (3%) was added as a toughening...
