Abstract:The contemporary work emphasizes the importance of using coconut inflorescence fibril as a viable alternate to manmade fibril in polymer matrix composites for application components undergoing wear. The extracted inflorescence fibril from coconut tree is exposed to mercerization treatment with 5% wt/vol of aqueous solution. The composite samples were fabricated by varying the fibril content (10, 20, 30 and 40 wt %) of fibril/polyester matrix. The composite specimens were subjected to wear test employing a pin … 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.
