TENSILE AND FLEXURAL PROPERTIES OF RECYCLED PP/KENAF/PET HYBRID COMPOSITES
Composite materials have been preferred by many applications due to their unique properties such as resistant to corrosion, lightweight and relatively inexpensive. However, these materials contribute to approximately 10% of municipal solid waste in the United States. Therefore, this project was prop...
