EFFECTS OF EXPANDABLE GRAPHITE ON FLAMMABILITY, THERMAL AND MECHANICAL PERFORMANCE OF PALM EMPTY FRUIT BUNCH FIBRE REINFORCED COMPOSITE

Natural fibre reinforced composites (NFRC) possess the tendency of being highly flammable in nature. The current paper investigates the effectiveness of expandable graphite (EG) on the enhancement of the flame retardancy of palm empty fruit bunch (EFB) fibre filled diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (D...
