Effect of electron beam radiation on water absorption of hybrid kenaf-glass unsaturated polyester composite
This paper presents the effect of electron beam radiation on water absorption of kenaf-glass (KG) mat reinforced unsaturated polyester (UPE) hybrid composite which has been compounded using sheet molding compound (SMC) process. Hybrid synthetic and natural fiber composite materials are attractive...

| description |
This paper presents the effect of electron beam radiation on water absorption of
kenaf-glass (KG) mat reinforced unsaturated polyester (UPE) hybrid composite which has been
compounded using sheet molding compound (SMC) process. Hybrid synthetic and natural fiber
composite materials are attractive structural materials because of natural fibers resource and their
lower cost making their study a relevant research area today. In the present study, the fabricated
hybrid composites were subjected to a dose of electron beam radiation of 75 kGy. Furthermore,
fourier transform infra-red (FTIR) analysis was carried out on irradiated hybrid kenaf-glass
reinforced UPE composite. It was found that the effect of electron beam radiation increases the
impact strength and water uptake significantly.Water absorption values were found to be increased
with the increasing of kenaf fiber loading for non-irradiated hybrid KG-UPE composite. |
