Durability of Basalt/Hemp Hybrid Thermoplastic Composites

Durability of Basalt/Hemp Hybrid Thermoplastic Composites

The Achilles heel of thermoplastic natural fibre composites is their limited durability. The environmental degradation of the mechanical properties of hemp and hemp/basalt hybrid-reinforced high-density polyethylene (HDPE) composites has been investigated with a special focus on the effects of water...
