| Popis: | The effects of fibre loadings (10−40 wt.%) on mechanical properties, water absorption and dimensional stability of poly(butylene succinate)-filled kenaf bast fibre composites were investigated. The flexural strength and modulus of the composites increased with increasing fibre loading, while the impact strength of the composites decreased with increasing fibre loading. The higher the KBF loading was the higher absorption rate, equilibrium moisture content and the poorer dimensional stability of the composites. The poor retention and recovery of the composites from effect of water absorption were reflected by the poor flexural properties of the wet and re-dried composites after exposed to 90 days' water immersion. |
