Mechanical Property Characterization of Aligned Plant Yarn Reinforced Thermoset Matrix Composites Manufactured via Vacuum Infusion (2014)
Journal Article
Shah, D. U., Schubel, P. J., Clifford, M. J., & Licence, P. (2014). Mechanical Property Characterization of Aligned Plant Yarn Reinforced Thermoset Matrix Composites Manufactured via Vacuum Infusion. Polymer-Plastics Technology and Engineering, 53(3), 239-253. https://doi.org/10.1080/03602559.2013.843710

This article evaluates the mechanical properties of vacuum-infused unidirectional plant fiber composites (PFRPs), composing of bast fiber yarns and thermoset matrices. PFRPs are found to have lower fiber volume fractions than E-glass composites (GFRP...
