Mechanical performance of unstitched and silk fiber-stitched woven kenaf fiber reinforced epoxy composites
Fiber composites are known to have poor through-thickness mechanical properties due to the absence of a Z-direction binder. This issue is more critical with the use of natural fibers due to their low strength compared to synthetic fibers. Stitching is a through-thickness toughening method that is us...
