Preparation And Characterization Of Polyurethane Composites Reinforced By Kenaf Core

In this study, the effect of silane treatment on kenaf core (KC) and KC reinforced polyurethane (KCP) composites were discussed. The composite was prepared using one shot process. Firstly, polyurethane (PU) was prepared from methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI) and glycerol using different NCO/O...
