Dynamic mechanical and flexural properties of granite dust filled Arenga pinnata (sugar palm) fibre based hybrid composites / Muhammad Aizuddin Mohamad

Natural fibre is one type of reinforcement materials obtained from natural resources that is decomposable, biodegradable, renewable, and cost effective. Among all natural fibres exist, Arenga Pinnata fibre (plant based) and basalt fibre (mineral based) are identified as an attractive option for rein...
