Abstract:This work aims to evaluate the mechanical and flammability behavior of the green laminate polymeric composite of polyurethane (PU) derived from vegetable oils with reinforcement of cotton fiber (CF) unidirectional fabrics and added alumina trihydrate (ATH). Specimens of PU and PU doped with different ATH contents (10%, 20%, and 30%) were manufactured by casting process and the CF/PU composites and CFs/PU composites with ATH by the vacuum bag process, with three different stacking sequences (fibers oriented on … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
