  • Online:2009-11-28 Published:2009-06-25

Abstract:

Hemp fabric reinforced polyethylene composites were prepared in this paper. The effects of

processing parameters on the tensile and impact properties were investigated. The influence of hemp

fibre content on the properties of the composites was discussed. The fracture surface morphology was

investigated by using scanning election microscopy. The results showed that optimum processing

conditions of the composites were obtained.

Key words:  hemp, polyethylene, composite, tensile strength, impact strength
