Title: | Investigation on Thermal Properties of Kenaf Fibre Reinforced Polyurethane Bio-Composites | Authors: | Athmalingam, M. Vicki, W.V. |
Issue Date: | 2018 | Abstract: | This research focuses on the effect of Kenaf fibre on thermal properties of Polyurethane (PU) reinforced kenaf bio-composites. The samples were prepared using the polymer casting method with different percentages of kenaf fibre content (5 wt%, 10 wt%, 15 wt%). The thermal properties of Kenaf/PU bio-composite are determined through the Thermogravimetric Analysis and Differential Scanning Calorimeter test. The TGA results revealed that 10 wt% Kenaf/PU bio-composite appeared to be more stable. DSC results show that the glass transition temperature (Tg) value of 10 wt% Kenaf/PU composite is significant to pure polyurethane. It can be said that the thermal stability of 10 wt% Kenaf/PU bio-composite exhibits higher thermal stability compared to other samples. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd. | DOI: | 10.1088/1757-899X/303/1/012011 |
