Abstract

Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part E: Journal of Process Mechanical Engineering, Ahead of Print.
Epoxy composites reinforced with pineapple leaf fiber (PALF) composites were fabricated and modified with three distinct flame retardants, namely aluminum hydroxide (Al(OH)3), magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)2), and 9,10-dihydro-9-oxa-10-phosphaphenanthrene-10-...
