Kinetics of moisture sorption and improved tribological performance of keratinous fiber-reinforced ortho-phthalic polyester biocomposites

This paper presents the influence of randomly oriented bovine hair fibres on the kinetics of moisture sorption and abrasive wear resistance of unsaturated polyester. The investigated properties were studied dependent on predetermined volume fractions of hair fibres in polyester matrix. Test samples...
