TENSILE PROPERTIES OF RAMIE FIBER REINFORCED EPOXY COMPOSITES
The tensile properties of randomly oriented short fiber lengths from agricultural based plant stems ramie fiber/epoxy composites are described for the first time in this work. Composites were fabricated using raw ramie fibers with varying fiber weight percent’s viz. 25, 30, 35, 40 and 45wt. %. The tensile parameter s…
