Reinforcement of Polyester with Renewable Ramie Fibers

Reinforcement of Polyester with Renewable Ramie Fibers

Ramie (Boehmeria nivea) fiber is one of several lignocellulosic fibers with superior strength, but the least investigated, particularly as reinforcement in strong, tough polymeric composites. This paper presents mechanical properties for polyester reinforced with aligned ramie fibers up to 30% by vo...
