Abstract

Composite are now accepted in various structural application; but the current emphasis has shifted towards environmental issues, which gives natural fibres the advantage as they are eco-friendly and biodegradable. This study involved the water absorption behaviour of flax/hemp combined natural fibres and the bending characteristics of flax/hemp polyester composites treated at various temperatures. The stiffness of the composite was observed to reduce at 110°C. The moisture absorption profile did rise to a variable plateau.
