Characteristics and behaviour of gomuti fibre composites with thermoset resin
Abstract
Gomuti fibre, as a natural fibre obtained from the Arenga pinnata tree, is a versatile fibre that has been used conventionally for various purposes such as thatch roofing, water filters, brooms, rope and insulation.Its usage has diminished over time due to the introduction of some more durable, installation-easy and aesthetically pleasing roofing materials such as metal, plastic and concrete.With the current reemerging interest in natural fibres and their composites as potential building and construction materials, there exists the opportunity to investigate the potential of
