Investigation Of Fire Retardant Properties Of Hybrid Kapok Reinforced Plastic For Marine Application

Abstract

The usage of the natural fibre in polymer composites as a replacement of conventional fibre can reduce the production cost of a polymer composite product. The natural fibre kapok that consist of hair-like fibres are best used as a stuffing, where it have several advantages over commonly used materials such as glass, carbon, basalt and metallic fibre.
