Development of green insulation boards from kenaf fibres and polyurethane
The purpose of this study was to develop effective green insulation boards fabricated from polyurethane (PU) reinforced with Kenaf fibres. Biocomposites having three different weight contents (40/60, 50/50 and 60/40 Kenaf/PU weight %) were manufactured. A fourth type was made from 60/40 NaOH-treated...
