Comparative Analysis of Mechanical and Morphological Properties of Cordenka and Ramie Fiber-Reinforced Polypropylene Composites.

The depletion of conventional materials and their adverse environmental impacts have prompted a shift toward sustainable alternatives in composite materials engineering. In pursuit of this objective, this study investigated the mechanical properties of polypropylene matrix composites reinforced with Cordenka, an artificial cellulose fiber, and compared them to those reinforced with ramie, a natural cellulose fiber. Continuous strand composites were developed using the Multi-Pin-assisted Resin Infiltration (M-PaRI) process.
