Increasing concern for the environment has stimulated interest in the research and
development of single polymer composite (SPC) materials. These materials are an …

The world population will rapidly grow from 7 to 9 billion by 2050 and this will parallel a
surging annual plastics consumption from today's 350 million tons to well beyond 1 billion …

This study aims to evaluate the influence of fiber hybridization and frequency on the dynamic
mechanical properties of ramie/glass hybrid fiber-reinforced polyester composites. The …

Self-reinforced composites (SRCs) offer a high toughness, low cost, good recyclability,
formability, and potential for hybridisation. Because matrix and fibres are of the same …

In recent years there has been an increasing amount of interest, both commercially and
scientifically, in the emerging field of “self-reinforced polymer composites”. These materials …

The impact behaviour of self-reinforced polypropylene (PP) composites was studied. α and β
polymorphs of isotactic PP homopolymer and random copolymer (with ethylene) were used …

Self-reinforced polymer composites or all-polymer composites have been developed to
replace traditional glass-fibre-reinforced plastics (GFRP) with good lightweight, mechanical …

In the present work self-reinforced polypropylene composites (SRPPC) were developed and
investigated. As reinforcement a fabric, woven from highly stretched split PP yarns, whereas …

It has previously been shown possible to use highly oriented polypropylene (PP) tapes to
create self-reinforced (all-PP) composites. It is desirable to understand the relationship …

Self-reinforced poly (ethylene terephthalate)(PET) composites prepared by using a modified
film-stacking technique were examined in this study. The starting materials included a high …
