Water absorption analysis on impregnated kenaf with nanosilica for epoxy/kenaf composite
Due to the existence of hydroxyl group from cellulose and hemicellulose in natural fibre, it has a high tendency to absorb significant amount of water. Nanosilica has high surface area due to its nanosize, which is capable to seal the fibre's pores. In this work, impregnation technique was used...
