Mechanical Behaviour of Alkali‐Treated Fabric‐Reinforced Polymer Matrix Composites
Advances in Polymer Technology, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022 Polyethylene (PE) was used as a composite material to create a fabric containing 40% pineapple, 30% jute, and 30% cotton fibres by weight. The physical characterisation is carried out, like deterioration and water absorption tests. PE‐based composites were shown to have a lower water absorption rate when dipped in deionized water to perform an ...
