Investigating the Effects of Operational Factors on Wear Properties of Heat-Treated Pultruded Kenaf Fiber-Reinforced Polyester Composites using Taguchi Method

This study investigated the mechanical and wear properties of heat-treated pultruded kenaf fiber-reinforced polyester composites (PKFPCs) using pultrusion technique. A total of three heat treatment temperatures (120, 140, and 170°C) of PKFPC and untreated PKFPC were produced and their performance wa...
