The Effects of Wettability, Shear Strength, and Weibull Characteristics of Fiber-reinforced Poly(lactic acid) Composites

The Effects of Wettability, Shear Strength, and Weibull Characteristics of Fiber-reinforced Poly(lactic acid) Composites

The wettability, interfacial shear strength (IFSS), and Weibull characteristics of oil palm empty fruit bunch (EFB) fibers were studied to evaluate the mechanical properties of EFB- and poly(lactic acid) (PLA)-based composites. The fiber surface was modified through ultrasound and poly(dimethyl silo...
