Reinforced thermoplastic natural rubber hybrid composites with Hibiscus cannabinus, L and short glass fiber – Part I: Processing parameters and tensile properties

Hybrid composite of thermoplastic natural rubber (TPNR) reinforced with Hibiscus cannabinus, L fiber (kenaf fiber: KF) and short glass fiber (GF) were prepared via melt blending method using internal mixer, at various temperatures, speed and time. TPNR matrix is a blend of polypropylene (PP), liquid...
