Effects of water absorption on the mechanical properties of hybrid natural fibre/phenol formaldehyde composites

Abstract This investigation is carried out to understand the effects of water absorption on the mechanical properties of hybrid phenol formaldehyde (PF) composite fabricated with Areca Fine Fibres (AFFs) and Calotropis Gigantea Fibre (CGF). Hybrid CGF/AFF/PF composites were manufactured using the ha...
