Thermal and mechanical characteristics of polyurethane/curaua fiber composites
Journal of Thermal Analysis and Calorimetry, 2008 Polyurethane composites reinforced with curaua fiber at 5, 10 and 20% mass/mass proportions were prepared by using the conventional melt-mixing method. The influence of curaua fibers on the thermal behavior and polymer cohesiveness in polyurethane matrix was evaluated by dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA) and by differential scanning ...
