Effect of filler loading on mechanical properties of pultruded kenaf fibre reinforced vinyl ester composites

Abstract: Pultrusion is one of the polymer composite fabrication processes employing a combination of pulling and extrusion processes. The composite profiles are obtained by pulling resin-impregnated fibres through a series of heated dies. The ability of the pultrusion technique to support a high volume of fibre fraction produces the high stiffness of the composite profile. There are many parameters such as filler loading, mould temperature and pulling speed to be considered and controlled during the pultrusion process.… Show more

“…Various combinations of natural fibre and matrix have been carried out by the researcher worldwide. The fibres play as a role of reinforcement while the matrix such as thermoset, thermoplastic, polyester and polypropylene [5][6][7][8][9] mostly will be the main materials which the final composite can produce a good performance in some of the properties such as mechanical, physical and environmental to replace with steel base components especially in automotive industry [10][11][12][13]. Moreover, it gives an advantage as the low cost and weight, easy to process, good thermal and acoustic insulating properties [14][15][16][17][18][19][20].…”

“…With each material appearing significant in respective applications, metals are mostly utilised for ballistic protection due to its mechanical properties. Therefore metals of high tensile, hardness, and ductility were numerously proposed as a ballistic protection plate [1][2][3][4][5]. Based on mechanics of projectile impact, the penetration of bullets depends on many factors that occur over three phases namely the initial impact phase, stress propagation phase, and fracture initiation phase [6].…”

“…Although the use of carbon fibres was growing rapidly glass fibre is still by far the most commonly used reinforcement material in fibre reinforced plastics. In 2006, approximately 163000 metric tons of fibres were used worldwide in the manufacture of composites with E-glass fibre making up 80% of this total [1][2][3][4][5]. The main reason that glass fibre is very dominant in the market is that it comparatively incurs low cost.…”
