The objective of current work is to evaluate the density, void content, water absorption,
thickness swelling and thermal expansion of non-woven bamboo mat (B)/woven kenaf mat …

This paper deals with the water mass uptake of nanoclay and sisal fibre reinforced polymer
composites. Nanoclays at 1wt.%, 3wt.% and 5wt.% were filled in sisal fibre reinforced epoxy …

Natural fibers with functionalities have attracted considerable attention. However,
developing facile and versatile strategies to modify natural fibers is still a challenge. In this …

This study is focused on the investigation of thermo-mechanical properties of an epoxy resin
filled with thermally reduced graphene oxide (TRGO) and multi-wall carbon nanotubes …

In this study the chemical treatment of sisal fiber using the combined alkali (NaOH) and clay
is discussed. The purpose of this fiber treatment is to improve the fiber–matrix compatibility …

Crosslinked polyethylene (XLPE)/silica nanocomposites are promising candidates for future
cable insulation. While a significant number of studies have demonstrated improved …

A new method to characterize three-dimensional, anisotropic moisture absorption in
polymeric composites using experimental gravimetric absorption data is presented. This is …
