spelling oai:open.uct.ac.za:11427/11579 Investigation of the characteristics of kenaf fibre reinforced polypropylene composites Kim, Soeyeh Marcus, Kashif Applied Science Includes abstract. Includes bibliographical references (leaves 135-140). This research work focus on the characterisation of the mechanical and thermal properties of kenaf fibre reinforced polypropylene composites. The composites were fabricated by extrusion followed by injection and compression moulding. The effects of fibre content, coupling agent content (MAPP), different types of moulding processes and addition of filler materials (kenaf core) were observed through mechanical, thermal and microscopic testing. 2015-01-06T18:40:26Z 2015-01-06T18:40:26Z 2008 Master Thesis Masters MSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/11579 eng application/pdf Centre for Materials Engineering Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment University of Cape Town
