Abstract:
Within this work the dependence of the mechanical properties of natural fiber reinforced composites on the process pressure has been studied. This study includes not only the determination of the mechanical properties of the composites but also an extensive and detailed scanning electron microscopic (SEM) investigation of the fiber damage. The target of this study is the optimization of the complete manufacturing process.
