Thermal Analysis of Kenaf Sandwich Core Panel

Abstract:

The thermal stability of kenaf sandwich panel core structures are presented in this paper. Sandwich core structures tested are of varying kenaf percentage being 10, 20 and 30 wt%. The result indicated that all composite have two step degradation processes due to the presence of kenaf in epoxy. From the discussion, increasing the kenaf percent ratio will decrease the percent residue.
