Fire Retardancy of Natural Fibre Reinforced Sheet Moulding Compound
Hapuarachchi, T.D.; Ren, Guogang; Fan, Mizi; Hogg, P.J.; Peijs, T. (2007-07)Due to environmental awareness and economical considerations, natural fibre reinforced polymer composites seem to present a viable alternative to synthetic fibre reinforced polymer composites such as glass fibres. This is ... -
Hemp fibre as alternative to glass fibre in sheet moulding compound. Part 1 : influence of fibre content and surface treatment on mechanical properties
Patel, H.K.; Ren, Guogang; Hogg, P.J.; Peijs, T. (2010-07-01)Hemp fibre mat reinforced unsaturated polyester composites were fabricated using a conventional sheet moulding compound process. The influence of fibre and CaCO3 filler content on strength and stiffness of these hemp fibre ... -
Hemp fibre as alternative to glass fibre in sheet moulding compound. Part 2 : impact properties
Patel, H.; Ren, Guogang; Hogg, P.J.; Peijs, T. (2015-09-01)This paper describes the results of falling weight impact tests on natural fibre reinforced polyester composites fabricated using a conventional sheet moulding compound (SMC) process. The influence of hemp fibre and CaCO3 ...
